I think most of the suggestions were to choose QHD (2560x1440) for now. Full HD is only 1920x1080.
These are pretty much your options (my examples are all 27 inch monitors):

1. 1920x1080 monitor, 1 to 2 ms response time, 120 Hz or 144 Hz refresh. This is the best option for reduced motion blur and input lag. These use a TN panel which has faster response time but picture quality and viewing angles are not as good. Examples Asus VG278H, or VG278HE, BenQ XL2720T or 2720Z. You can also get 24 inch versions of these monitors which will look better because of the smaller pixel size, but...

I think it's a good choice. Picture quality is very good. A single GTX 780 Ti will give you an average of at least 60 FPS with this monitor in any game. You shouldn't need anti-aliasing at this resolution. You will generally need to enable v-sync to avoid screen tearing where the graphics card is rendering more than 60 FPS.

The overlord cited earlier has great color. Its not a 1.07b, but the colors are worlds away from my 22 fhd led. Note there is a slight light bleed. If you're looking for the best /cheapest 4k out there, its the 24" dell @ 1050 usd (180ppi, 1.07b with professional calibration), there are some 28" tn's out there that do 30fps, but I wouldn't suggest them unless you're colorblind and hate first person shooters, racing games, and webbrowsing.
