The new ViewSonic VX2739wm, the first 1ms 27-inch LCD monitor, looks set to impress with its HD 1080p panel, a 100,000: 1 dynamic contrast ratio and SRS Premium Sounds. Additionally, you can hook up your many devices to its HDMI/DVI inputs.

While 3D capabilities have not exactly been in the mainstream yet, some LCD monitors have come equipped with the right stuff made for 3D gaming - namely, the ViewSonic VX2268WM - and as long as you have the accompanying accessories such as the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision Kit, a suitable NVIDIA graphics card, Windows Vista or 7, and you are ready to go.
