So it took about 2 months but I finally settled on a GPU/Monitor combo. Bought the 4870 and a 24" Acer ( AL2416wbsd). I'm coming from a variety of combo's.
8800GT w/ 19" Acer
4850 w/ 19" Acer
4850 w/ various 22"

The Acer i bought has little to no noticable back light bleeding on the edges ( or anywhere) which has been my main concern in buying a monitor ( I bought and returned about 10 monitors)
So I plug the brand new GPU and LCD in and power it up, delete old 4850 drivers and put new ones in w/ hotfix.
Mainly I play TF2, At max res 19 X 12 ( with Widescreen at 16:10) the colors and graphics look killer but the text in the game is boxy looking and gainy, everything else though is superb. Anyway to fix that? I have to lower it to 1680 X 1050 at same WS setting to get the text at a clear state
Also I get the same frps as i did with any of the above combo's whats up with that. I was expecting a huge increase
 
Why would you expect an increase in performance when you're going with a BIGGER monitor?

Also, isn't there some sort of auto-adjust button on the monitor? My Westinghouse 19" had the same problem in TF2 but I easily fixed by pressing the Auto button on the monitor.

TF2 is not a graphically demanding game. So despite having a faster video card, you're not going to notice a performance increase since TF2 is not a demanding game. I could play at max settings with 2AA at 1440x900 with my 7900GS. Going to the 8800GT just allowed me to crank up the settings but keep the same framerates.
 
i dont tihnk you expected too much but did you really think playing at a higher resolution would increase fps
 
i wish i could get a 24' but i just got my dell 22' for 160 2 months ago and my 4850 would suffer @ the newer resolutions but congrats :)
