Remember that the size of the screen determines how much "real estate" you have. It's easy to think that higher resolutions will allow you to see more. It's hard to say if it's worth it or not. Software support is getting much better but the benefits seem unclear. I recommend Dell P2715Q. It's $700 for 27" (though Dell often has sales/coupons - I got mine for about $500). IPS + matte. The stand is pretty decent. Nothing stupid like a glossy bezel, etc. I'm not sure I would but it again. I use 19020x1080 monitors at work and don't notice a big difference. Plus monitor resolutions jumped up quickly (after being stagnant for so long) but video cards didn'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.
