The image on my current monitor (Samsung P2370HD) recently got darker and the monitor itself is noticeably hotter. Last night it suddenly got even darker and smelled like it was on fire so I probably need to get a new one.
Since it's more than 4 years since I purchased my last one I need help choosing a new one since I haven't the faintest idea what's going on with the market. I can hardly find any recent monitor reviews or monitors in the £200-300 range even though one review claims that there is plenty of competition therein.

My requirements as follows:
- 1080p native resolution. Any higher is pointless as I don't play newer PC games or intend to buy a computer powerful enough for higher resolutions.
- A VGA and DVI socket for my DVI-D cable. Sound is irrelevant.
- Same or better specs as my previous monitor. Namely, brightness of 300cd/m2 (that was dark enough even at full brightness), Contrast ratio of 1:1000 static and 1:50000 dynamic, and response time of 5ms.
