Strictly 1080p on my Panasonic TC-L32U3 since getting my 7970 OC, and lovin it.

Speaking of bang for buck eye candy though, this is a great video guide for those wanting to get into PC gaming for under 300 GBP or 500 USD. Build your own STEAM BOX! - How to build a gaming ...

Eh, ignore the link title. It's primarily about building a budget gaming PC. It just happens to show some Steam gaming bundles and freebies at the end.

I'm happy at 1080p, but would really enjoy 1440+

I used to use a single 22" @ 1680x1050 then I got a 28" @ 1920x1200 that I use as my primary along with the 22". The 28" is showing signs that it might fail (yet again,) so I might end up replacing it with a 1440 display, but that depends on how my finances are doing in the next few months.

Had a 1440p, have reverted back to 1080p ONLY because in my study setup my old 27 inch was just too big and too close, no doubting the quality but a 24 inch IPS 1080p panel just fits better with where I am and what I do.

Looks like there are more over 1080 too. I know some of these setups have to be stellar to run at a steady frame rate
