Countdown until Hitman shows up starts right... now!

This guy ^^^^ 
 
I have a similar monitor as your old one and sold it. Your still using the same aspect ratio, so it's going to have the same squarish 16:10 look, however for that resolution, games will look slightly different than what your used to. Overall it seems to have good reviews on newegg and it's a decent price, I say go buy it.  
 
However here was another option I looked at before, it's only X1080p, not as high in resolution, it's more retangular, which will make it seem like console games for aspect ratio, rather than looking squarish. It's $319 It's a 27" monitor.

I too am ready to upgrade, but from a 17" LCD SD monitor to a 24" Full HD LCD and am excited. I say go for a 16:9 ratio if you can, the one Hitman showed would be awesome you could even go smaller (for cheaper) and still be at better than the first one you looked at. 
 
This is the one I'm getting, it's nice, cheap and as far as inputs go, it's a really good one for me and gaming on PC and 360.

The Samsung PX2370 is pretty sweet.
 
However the Acer GD245HQbd is probably the most shiny one you can get you hands on at the moment, pretty pricey though.

Here is another one, no 1:1 pixel mapping though. Honestly, just get the asus one, the rest doesn't have all the features your looking for and for overall console use either.

LED backlit?

" LED backlit? "

Fine, fine.  This probably won't be that full of detail, but I guess I'll try to say something of substance.   
 
I recently bought this  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001380 but it seems like there are newer models out.  My only problem with it is that the edges are glossy, which can be a little distracting
 
The monitor is extremely bright, it makes the screen on a non-LED backlit screen I have look extremely dull.  If I recall correctly these types of screens run with less power and are brighter (since this is not a laptop though, power consumption is probably not that much of an issue).  On another note, if you are going greater than 23" you should think about getting a higher resolution than 1920x1080.  My preferred monitor brands (from experience) are Dell and Samsung.  
 
Edit: seems like you made up your mind so you can disregard this post I suppose.

" @HitmanAgent47: 27 inches seems like it may be getting bigger than in practical for me and i will be using it for my xbox as well so the lack of 1:1 doesn't sound like what i need.  "

currently have a Benq Full HD 23"  monitor and imo its the perfect desktop size for a PC monitor... 

I'm not kidding but that is a very similar Samsung monitor that I have (SyncMaster 2053BW) and my cousin has that Asus monitor and it is stunning. So I say upgrade, it's worth the money.

Why you shouldn't have gotten that monitor:

Ignore the dot pitch, it just means the size of the pixels and if it doesn't look pixely, then it's not going to affect you. Your going to refund the monitor? Honestly give it a week, you'll get used to it. The novelty of having a bigger display wears off in a week. I mean honestly i'm using a much bigger display and I don't find it that big. Most ppl would like to have a slighty bigger display monitor and you also have higher resolution than X1080p. Not sure what your complaint is about.

The resolution is different from your last monitor, the changing colors is viewing angles, it changes on the side too. It's your choice, your old monitor can't do X1080p at all and the resolution is lower for pc games. You can't use a console with your old monitor without it looking funny. It's more than having a bigger monitor, your also getting a higher resolution. Maybe you should try out more stuff on it because X1200 pc games looks good. If you only saw one game, you can't really see the difference.  
 

Maybe your having buyers remorse, here is what you lose from refunding it. It's your money, I still belive you made the right choice with that monitor and your throwing away all these features.
 
-You lose the ability to play games at X1200 rez if you upgrade your videocard.  
-you lose the ability to view 1080p blu ray or high definition movies because your old monitor will cut off your screen at a point 
-you lose the ability to also use it with a console because X1050 isn't compatible with your old monitor 
-you lose the ability to own a bigger display  
 
Here was what you gained  
-great monitor to use with your gtx460 1gb unlike your other monitor
-X1200 rez games 
-bigger display which is good with X1200 rez 
-fit more within your browser 
-compatible with X1080p stuff like blu ray movies
-can be used with a console set at 1080p 
-is compatible as a X1080, X1200 rez monitor 
-2ms fast response time

Or else simply plug in both displays, I think you can use two monitors, not sure about the difference is resoluition, I haven't done it before. Also you need to try more games, or else your not getting the full benefits. If you don't play games, then what use is a gtx460 going to be? Don't say none of us helped you here pick out a good display because we did, giving you all these benefits you seem to not notice.

LED monitors does have better contrast ratio, meaning the darker stuff is dark and the brighter stuff is bright. However you don't get alot of size with LED monitors, it's always a 23" or 24" monitor at most. It would be the same height as your old 22" monitor or less, except slightly wider. Also if you spent an extra $200 on it, all your going to get is a 27" lcd monitor. There really isn't much of a choice with monitors, with that price, you might as well just put in an extra hundred and use a hdtv as a monitor like I did. I mean I spent a grand on my display. Don't worry about pixel pitch, if you can't see the pixels, or moving a feet back makes those pixels disapear, then who cares about pixel pitch. Monitors usually has small enough pixels anyways. Overall I think you made a good choice, it's about the right size, you have more resolution. I mean I have to do more research to see if there are many X1200 rez LED monitors around. Most of the ones i've looked at before is mostly X1080p. I mean you spent less than $200 on a X1200 monitor, that's a great deal, these things usually gets near $300 for that rez I think. You can invest that extra $200 on a gtx460 instead, you said you didn't need a bigger monitor than this.
 
I suppose putting $200, you can get a LED 24" monitor, however compared to a X1200 rez 24" monitor this monitor isn't very tall at all. I seen both of them side by side, the 24" X1200 rez which looks more squarish and taller looks about the right size and the X1080p is always too small looking. Go to best buy a take a look, it's not much taller than your 22" monitor that's also squarish. You won't get the resolution of X1200 which is alot of pixels for games, most ppl just plays games at 720p, X1200 means you can see like two webpages not maximized. Also on 1080p monitors using the hdmi cable, the text is really messed up, not sure why. Also it might not be good because it's not very tall for such a small sized monitor for viewing text, it's too retangular at such a small size. I don't have a problem using my display because it's really big. Yeah, my point is your going to be missing certain features like resolution and size if you put more money towards an LED. The colors and contrast is nice, however you can still calibrate your lcd monitor to get more out of it. Games will have that rectangular look of 720p 16:9 aspect ratio, however with a X1200 rez monitor, it's a 16:10 display which scales games quite well. It looks different than other resolutions for your games, it changes the look because you have more pixels. I'm only saying, you only gain colors, you lose size and resolution.
