I don't like sony much though and know next to nothing about the Vita. The Vita might be more attractive after a while when people start overclocking them. . The 120Hz monitors are a bit more expensive and bear in mind that not every 3D monitor you see is 120Hz. IPSs have become more affordable. What about the Dell U2312HM?http://komplett.ie/Komplett/product/ZKB_04RAND/16_MONITOR/01_MONITOR/productdetails/20097160/Dell_23_U2312HM_LCD_8ms_VGA_DVI_D/859_10143/default.aspx You could work towards 3x1080p monitors and eyefinity. The U2312HM has displayport too!

It mightn't even get u from dublin to cork on train. That's crazy. On the flip side of that, I reckon we'll be seeing a version 1.5 or 2 with upgraded hardware in maybe 2 years, possibly sooner, so it might be worth getting yer moneys worth. I don't think the vita is going to be able to stagnate while mobile technologies are being updated at such a rate. Add to that the range of peripherals which are already out, and coming out (specifically things like game pads), and the amazing things being done with the unity game engine, and the fact HTC's newer phones this year are going to be playstation certified and have access to the same back catalogue. I don't see what the vita really has going for it. Have a 27inch myself but can't really compare them directly as I have the u2711 which is a bit above your price range and monitors are definitely something you want to get right. 27 is a beautiful size to work on though!

Personally, I'd get the Vita and stick at 22" where the GPU need is much less and a lot cheaper. 27" will be dual GPU or stupidly expensive single card work for a good bit yet so you're bumping up your future upgrade costs with the move. I love gaming on 27" but honestly, I think it'd be smarter of me to go for a 3 x 22" set up and game off the centre monitor alone in terms of value for money.
