[ale] New monitor discussion

That's the resolution I was looking at…  I do the same – lots of terminal windows that I'm constantly tabbing through…

I'm using XFCE and have LOTS of terminal sessions open at once.  I think you'll be kicking yourself if you don't go for a 2560x1440.  It's SO nice to have room for all the things!  Given that I'm staring at this thing for about 7-9 hours a day, the money seems worth it.

So, I've decided to get a  new monitor for my primary desktop computer at home.  I'm thinking of going with a 27" or so to replace the current 20".  Now that resolutions over 1920x1080 are becoming more mainstream, and approaching the "I can afford it" range, I'm wondering if they are worth it.  Anyone using one of these on a Linux system?  I'll be using XFCE on openSUSE, BTW.
Wondering if I should go that route, or just pick up a 27" 1920x1080?
Thoughts?
