Everywhere I look I see 1920x1080P resolution monitors and the prices are very reasonable. Also, Oleg's updates appear to be 1920x1080 resolution when you drill down on them.
A monitor needs to be big for me to see. I doubt seriously I am the only person with such a problem.
This time I plan to go up on screen size to see better. I plan to go to a 25.5 or 27" monitor with 1920 x 1200 monitor. At least, this way I will be able to lower my screen size to the 1920x1080 to cover many possible resolutions. The prospects of having black borders at the top and bottom to accomodate the 1920 x 1080 really don't suit my interests.
If that is the way of it, so be it. Then of course the price for 1920 x 1200 resolution monitors is $100-200 USD greater than the same monitor in 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Then of course, if Oleg allows you to push the resolutions out high and wide I'll be in good shape.

I got an ASUS VW266H earlier this year and I have to say it's an outstanding gaming monitor for the price.
Max resolution is 1900x1200 but it will support any lower resolution when configured appropriately -- very handy for future-proofing a system. If you really like anti-aliasing but your graphics card is struggling with FPS on a given game, you can just drop to a lower resolution. You won't get the full screen area but neither will the monitor distort the image (even for 4:3, say) or resort to dithering. Whatever monitor you buy, I'd recommend picking one with a similar feature (usually called aspect control).
