    Monitor recommendation under $500!

    I have a fairly old mid-range 21.5" Asus I got a few years back and it's time to upgrade.
    I've been out of the loop in terms on monitor technology. I mainly play MMO's and some FPS games and the usual browsing and movies. What would you recommend for under $500 (including taxes & shipping to Canada).

    Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm looking for a 27 inch. Also, I have a GTX760 and planning to run 2 monitors so it should also work for that.

    at 1920x1080, Dell U2414H or Eizo FS2434.

    Review out for BenQ GW2765HT and have to say, it is pretty good.

    The 8bit+FRC (10bit support) is great for color accuracy and gradients. Makes some things look nice in games and such. I have a 8bit+FRC monitor to attest to that.
