Hi guys,
So I've been looking at 22" lcd displays for Christmas and this one caught my eye:

It looked good, until I read some reviews on Newegg where some people complained about the Dynamic Contrast feature and bleeding. This led me to consider the following...

..which garnered better reviews on Newegg and is quite a bit cheaper (always important to consider when choosing your own Christmas presents!). As far as I can see, the only difference between the two is the refresh time.
So my big questions are:
1. How important is refresh rate? I'm a gamer, but my game playing has taken a back seat to uni. I would mainly use it for assignments and web browsing, but I still like to play the latest releases.
2. Have I missed anything obvious about these monitors? I know basically nothing of monitors and could quite easily have missed something important.
At the moment, I'm pretty much choosing between those two, though I'm open to suggestions, particularly if they can be found on that Umart site as they are literally 15 minutes from where I live and have quite competitive prices. Other monitors not available there are fine too though, I'll just have to do a bit of hunting around. My budget is AUD$250, though that can be stretched up around $300 if its worth it.
Like I said, this monitor is mainly for work stuff, though it would have to stand up to gaming (PC and Xbox 360). It's about 50/50 of gaming/work. If you want to know what hardware I'm running, checkout 'My System' at the top of this post.
Cheers.
