I'm not very monitor-savvy and don't know what I should be looking out for. I want something around 24", LED, and has either 2 DVI ports or 1 DVI & 1 HDMI.
Other than that I don't know what separates two different monitors.

For example: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors_Flat_Panel_Widescreen/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=bsd&cs=cabsdt1&sku=320-9333

That has everything I want for $140. What should I look for to find a better quality monitor? I have a pretty good GPU (gtx570) so can I take advantage of higher resolutions than 1920x1080? Should I be looking at IPS monitors, which I heard have better picture quality?

Could someone also compare the monitor above with the following 2:
