I have the $1,300+ to spend on a Dell (or HP) 30" 2560x1600 monitor for gaming. But I chose instead to get a Samsung 27" 2560x1440 and save about $700 for a future GPU upgrade or something. As one who came from a Samsung 25.5" 1920x1200 (16:10 ratio) monitor, I do not miss the fewer 16:9 vertical resolution lines when moving to the bigger monitor. Further, 30" is just too big for someone like me who games at a desk just 20" or so away from the monitor.
