I for one hated downgrading to a "High Def" 1080p LCD screen a few years ago - but it was forced upon me when my old 21" CRT finally gave up after 15 loyal years, but I have to say, I like the extra desktop space.

These days, the 1920x1200 I have now has nearly the same resolution my old CRT was capable of (but it can't keep my lunch warm). The two 1080's I have flanking it give me the extra space I like, so I'm more than placated now.

Anyway, with 4k* monitors coming down in price, I also see one about a year or so away.


* - I still don't know why they call them 4k. They're really only 2160 vertical - the 4k refers to the horizontal pixels. If we're going to switch terminology to the horizontal, then all those 1920x1080 monitors need to be re-branded as 2k, instead of 1080. Crazy marketing folks - making everything more difficult!
