Monitor pre-purchase questions

[nearmiss]

Currently, I have a 24" Acer X241W monitor 1920x1200 5ms.

Monitor prices have dropped now to where I can get a 23.6" monitor 1920x1080 5ms for $150 USD.

It appears that computer monitors are taking the HDTV route of using the 1920x1080 resolution as standard.

My Video card 8800 GTX 512MB nVidia supports 2 DVI so it shouldn't be a problem with VC.

Yet, I'm thinking maybe I should try to find another 1920x1200 monitor. They are priced around $249-300USD.

Maybe I'll be satisfied with using two resolution sizes, maybe not.

Regardless, I thought I'd post to read some thoughts by others.
