So I'm looking a buying a new computer screen as my current is old, shitty and well i just got dollars at the moment to spend.

I'm undecided about a few things:
1. Size - I've been reading 24" is a pretty stock standard size for desktops (atm I'm using a 26", it's perhaps a bit big for gaming)
2. Quantity - With my current rig i can hook up two screens... but i think two would function worse than one (gap b/w screens, etc)... would love to go for a 3 screen set up but i would then need to upgrade some of my computer... then this would turn into a bigger than expected money-sinker.
3. Gaming is what i built the computer for, but until D3 comes out i do not see myself gaming much (nothing that great out atm), so the computer is largely my movie/tv viewer... so i have contemplated getting a bigger screen (32"-42") for that... but im unsure if that could later screw up gaming experience?

My budget is ~$600 MAX, but ideally ~$400 for a 32", ~$250 for 24"
Things i have been looking at are:
24"

32"

42"

Did you get an IPS monitor? Those things are awesome.
