Most large format monitors (32'' or greater) use many of the same panels you would find in a 1080p HDTV.
The most important part when picking is the panel type, do some research here: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles.htm I highly recommend the LG model in my sig.

The ability to show motion withut shadow is very important, and it is a bit annoying in fast paced scenes - for instance turning your head in game to watch a plane go past in the opposite direction, or even general dogfighting when planes are outlined against the sky.
My monitor is a good one for the money - a BENQ 2200HD - but I notice these issues every so often. My screen runs at 1920*1080@60Hz, I have wondered whether the blurring is due to refresh rate (as opposed to how long pixels take grey to grey), but I can only get 75Hz if I use a dual DVI cable (I think) whereas I currently have single.

BenQ E2200HD 2ms G2G 21.5"WS AU Optronics TN Film (M215HW01 V0) The panel overdriven to 75Hz may have a negative effect: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles...ve_at_75hz.htm The blurring is likely due to the TN panel type, even though it is specified at 2ms. Or possibly your eyes are more sensitive, although there's not much that can be done there, as even the LCDs marketed at 120Hz are not truly 120Hz/fps.

Depending on your budget there is also the option of a 2500 DPI 27" or 30" LCD.

For displays, it's PPI, and 1080p @ 30" is approximately 73 PPI. http://members.ping.de/~sven/dpi.html

What I meant to say was many 30"LCD's have resolutions up around 2560 x 1600 which is far better than 1080p.

HDTV are ugly for gaming, the low resolution compared with the large size and high cost makes it unnatractive (to me). You could go multi monitor.
I love my monitor - Dell 24inch 1920x1200, I would highly suggest a high res 24inch monitor tbh.

I have a 28" 1920x1200 I-Inc that I got from TigerDirect. But I don't like the colors. I tried a lot of different setup to no use.
What about you guys using multiple monitors? Is it better than 1 large screen? While we are at it, anybody using a projector? If so, how do you like it? Guess I have some time before COD is available in Canada...

 ). But still I think its the same prob with tvs, you get a much larger screen but the same if not lower resolution (so like 25% less pixels and 9x the display area = you do the math ^^ ).I only use one monitor for gaming even though I have another 3 22s for work and are different brands so it would look weird connecting them up as the sides are different shape/height/width (the monitor casing or whatever around the screen). Multi monitor systems are good, but you have to have the $ to buy the displays and the GPU's to run the games at the high resolutions that are needed. I am a nvidia person but ATI eyefinity I hear is pretty decent. In face I think a combat flight sim would be by far the best game for multimonitors, because I dont like the breakup of the image because I feel between the screens there are blindspots which distract me. But in a flight sim your cockpit has beams/supports in it, in fact if the center monitor is your forward vision, then the side screens work perfectly as your L and R periferals, and I am sure it would be less distracting since you have those blindspots in the game already in a way... Other option is go for a 120hz monitor and buy the nvidia 3d set, I have only seen really positive reviews about it.
