Looks nice.

For £400 I might get one myself, if you get it let me know what it's like.

Yeah but thinking that consoles struggle to render games at 1080p well cant see it being an issue for me.

well they wouldent but the retards who build them gave the GPU 256MB of memory, which struggled to display 1280x1024. If they gave the GPU and cpe 512MB+ each there would be no problem

Let's worry about higher resolutions when the PS4 comes a-knockin.

Your size constraints are a bit limiting, so I'm going to break them a bit. Go for at least 120Hz and a response time of 2ms (Phillips has those, but above 40") to 4ms. I've pretty much liked all Samsungs I've seen on display. Do yourself a favor and look in person. Then check the manufacturer for newer sets that may be be sold for similar prices.

For smaller sets, this ASUS monitor could do the trick. You might need a receiver for excess inputs, though.

If you want 240Hz, Sony's already got you covered, but they're big. Then again (OP), if you've already seen your LCD find (in person) and like it well enough, go for it.

LG are pretty good when it comes to TVs. For £400, that's pretty great.
