Best decision I ever made, second to going from spinning disks to SSDs.

1440p is pretty awesome. Granted, you need 1440p content to actually appreciate it graphically (and there are even Youtube vids out there at 1440p now), but it's mostly about gaming. Most modern games support that resolution without scaling up. The result is phenomenal. I'm currently playing The Witcher 3 on this resolution now. I bought it when I was playing on a 660Ti at 1080p, so I noticed the difference.

Other than that, the screen real estate is great. You get a lot more space for the monitor, but at the same time, everything is a lot smaller. Pixel density, as it were. It scales everything down. I'm not hard of seeing up close, though, so it doesn't bother me.

For monitoring, basically any Qnix monitor (these will be the best bang for your buck. So cheap for 1440p, using mainstream panels in their configs too) is going to have a ****ty stand. I already had a VESA stand because I've always needed a vertical mount for multiple monitors due to space regarding my studio speakers being in the proper position, so what I did was disassemble the bezel/case of the monitor and just remove the leg for the stand, then mount it via a VESA mount onto my pre-existing vertical stand.

Of course, you can just mount the foot on the leg that's already there, but most people review the Qnix monitors as having an unsturdy stand, but how many of us are hanging off our monitors anyway?
