I'll be using XFCE on openSUSE, BTW.

I had one of my monitors blow out a power supply just recently so I ran
down to a nearby store and picked up an Asus VE278Q.  It replaced a
19-inch monitor.  It's only 1080 and I agree going with the larger
resolutions is nicer if you have time to look but this one is quite nice
as is (of course I was in a hurry since I was down a monitor).  Next
monitor will probably be one of the 2560x1440's (likely another Asus)
that will live side by side with the new one.
