Remember that the size of the screen determines how much &quot;real estate&quot; you have. It&#x27;s easy to think that higher resolutions will allow you to see more.<p>It&#x27;s hard to say if it&#x27;s worth it or not. Software support is getting much better but the benefits seem unclear.<p>I recommend Dell P2715Q. It&#x27;s $700 for 27&quot; (though Dell often has sales&#x2F;coupons - I got mine for about $500). IPS + matte. The stand is pretty decent. Nothing stupid like a glossy bezel, etc.<p>I&#x27;m not sure I would but it again. I use 19020x1080 monitors at work and don&#x27;t notice a big difference. Plus monitor resolutions jumped up quickly (after being stagnant for so long) but video cards didn&#x27;t. Not a huge issue for editting text but something to consider. You can always game in 1920x1080 (and it will look fine) but alt-tabbing to your desktop will be slow.
