I'm one of the sorry suckers still at 1680x1050

Really want to get a larger monitor, but I'd only go for 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, which is either tough to find, or really expensive.

Thats actually a sweet spot resolution, sometimes I regretted upgrading from 20" (1680x1050)to 24" (1920x1200). You get more framerates, your GPU lasts longer and that is the current 'standard' size for 3D monitors. I may just go back to a 1680x1050 3D-capable 120hz LCD.

Make sure you setup bezel compensation. The borders shouldn't bother you. Same thing like in your car, there's the joints in between your front windshield and side windows yet you can still see everything. You are truly missing out.

Yes, this I know. However, when in a car you are able to move your head around the joints. Different perception.
Not everyone likes gaming in multi display. Now, if only there was one single long display... :)
 
1600x1200 is the highest my monitor will go. I still have a crt and wont stop still the wheels fall off.

1680x1050. I'm not really thinking about changing for the time being. The only thing I'd consider an upgrade would be a 1920x1200 monitor, but those are very hard to come by and are typically more expensive than 1080p monitors. Not only that, but they're not very good for multimedia, either. I wouldn't consider going to a 1920x1080 monitor an upgrade because the vertical resolution wouldn't really change at all, and I'm pretty happy with the horizontal resolution I have now. I think the only good upgrade would be something like 2560x1440, but monitors with that res. are too expensive.

Looks like I'll have to get something like a 32" 1080p TV to enjoy a bigger screen. The panels on most TVs are also IPS and VA, so that's a great step up. I'll look to see if I can get a decent quality one for $400.

Research whatever models you are thinking of. A lot of TVs out there just do not make very good monitors. Some of them are just plain laggy to the point that even some one that normally does not notice will notice it. Some have issues with over scan depending on which input you use. It's best to research the models on your list a bit first.
