Or 1440p :-/

I don't mind it being 120 vs 144 as it'll be a bit before I can get the graphics card to match anyway.. lol

I don't see the appeal in 1080p 27" monitors...

I want 1440p 24" monitors. :D

24" is too small.. you have to sit quite close to it.. more eye strain,

when your eyes has to focus on objects of "close distance" the muscles "contract" literally squeezing your eyeball..

while if you look at distant objects, your eye muscles are relaxed....

I plan on getting one of these or an equivalent from Newegg. They use the same panels as Samsung or LG so the display will look very nice but you don't get some of the features like advanced menus to change brightness, contrast, etc.

Didn't know that the XStar is so much cheaper than the Qnix, probably because they inflated the price of the Qnix because it's so popular. The non pixel perfect matte version is at a great price-$270 shipped.
