To save money just go for any 1080P HDTV set with a HDMI connection. Most computers have HDMI connections and if not you can get a DVI to HDMI cable. While if you're sure that you computer hasn't go a DVI or HDMI connection. Then it will have a VGA one so just make sure the 1080P HDTV has VGA also and most do.
That sounds like great advice Matthew but I was hoping for a specific model. I am also a bit worried about possible latency with using an HDTV for PC gaming.
This looks like a great monitor but it doesn't seem to be available online anywhere. Even Amazon lists it as out of stock. The nearest model I can see is the 25xi which is listed at $349, a bit out of my price range.
This monitor looks to be brilliant but unfortunately it's well out of my price range. The Dell website lists the monitor for AU $459 and Amazon, after currency conversions and shipping still lists it at over $400!
How about a Yamakasi Catleap?

Again, that looks like a really good monitor and would be in my price range if I was looking in US dollars but my budget is in Aussie dollars and after converting currency and paying for shipping, that monitor will be a bit too expensive unfortunately.

Look for something made by Iiyama. They do great monitors at great prices. They supply schools and businesses so have good customer service etc. The 2 24" monitors I got have 2ms response time (great for gaming) and plenty of inputs. Also they are mountable, which is becoming rare these days.
Don't buy a TV. Although it might seem good value, they usually have terrible response times and just aren't designed to be used as monitors really.
I have these http://www.ebuyer.com/603605-iiyama-prolite-e2483hs-b1-24-hd-led-hdmi-monitor-e2483hs-b1 , they were around £100 when i ordered and they are some of the best I have used, especially at that price. Colour is great and excellent viewing angles when compared to similar priced monitors. Also 2ms response time for that price is great.
