Hi-Res Monitor

I got a new high resolution monitor.  It's 2560x1440 pixels IPS 27" which is just like the 27" iMac except cheaper.  They sell these on eBay direct from South Korea. Mine's a Crossover monitor and the seller was accessorieswhole.  It works very well and I'm pleased with the beautiful view.  You do have to be careful that your graphics card can support the monitor.  The sellers have little tables about this, as I'm sure you'll see if you look on eBay.  Under $500 including express shipping. 

Postscript:  I've since learned that you can get even higher res 2560x1600.  And also that it's important to get one with a stand that tilts and swivels, sometimes noted with a -P suffix.
