I'm currently using a 24" monitor but am toying with the idea of upgrading to 27" and bringing my current monitor to my office where I need a second monitor anyway. I did go to a local store to compare

I'm thinking 27" as that is the biggest monitor that should display 1920x1080 decently. While 2,560x1,440 would be nice, my video card (ATI 7970 OCed a bit) gives me great performance at 1920x1080. I don't want to have to worry about upgrading sooner as more demanding games come out.

I was wondering if there any decent monitors in the $300 price range.
Thanks!

But remember, the more pixels/texels the card has to address, the more powerful the gfx card has to be to reach the same playably smooth frame rates and frame times you would have gotten with a 1080p display. Not just today, but with future, more graphically demanding games too.
