    By the way, does LED always mean LED-Backlit or is that only what I'm going to get in my price range?

    Usually you'll see LCD with LED Backlight.

    The two above are LED IPS, which is slower than TFT, but offers better colour and viewing angles.

    The one below:

    Is TFT and offers not so great viewing angles, but it will respond better and the colours should be good as it's an LED screen.

    Depends on your budget

    Well since it's for a desktop where my angle is pretty much static unlike a TV, TFT sounds better. That said, a bit of digging and the one you linked had a response of 8ms.

    Righty, I've decided to wait until next month and drop £300. I've found a few 120+Hz monitors around the place for that sort of money but a lot seem to be 'gaming' versions that seem to be a bit gimmicky or have features I don't want or need and therefore don't want to pay for, like 3D.

    Seen this for my budget. Any advice on that?
    What about this one?

    They are all 1920 x 1080 which I don't like as "computer fullhd" should be 1920 x 1200. This way you can pivot it 90 degrees and still have reasonable 1200 width + almost twice the normal height. It's fantastic for working on text and browsing websites.
