Need help from anyone who plays console games on monitors.

I'm looking to buy a monitor or two. I want one that will be great for next gen, too. I'm playing on a 50 inch plasma at the moment, but will soon moving that out of my room for my father and will be setting up a recording station for my youtube channel. I was looking at an Asus VG model that looks pretty cool and wanted to see if anyone has some  recommendations. Is a 23 inch better than a 27? etc.

Here is the link to the monitor I'm currently looking at - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008484Q6E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

My 'monitor' happens to be a Sony Bravia 50" LCD TV. You'll want a larger screen, depending on the distance you sit away from it.

Edit:  If you're something like 2-3 feet back, a 23" should work well-enough.

Yeah, I plan on sitting at a desk while playing.

Do you mind going into deeper detail to explain what you mean? Sorry, I'm learning more about monitors and all that stuff.

And are you referring to the monitor I have linked?

I was looking to get this one. Its at the best buy near my house.

As long as the monitor has HDMI and is HDCP it will work fine.

You'll have to decide what to do about sound though since monitor speakers are even worse than TV speakers.

most HDMI monitors have an Audio Out socket, great for headphones or PC speakers
