I'm getting a new PC monitor today. The ASUS PB278Q for $595... This new monitor will replace the VG248QE that I only got 10 months ago. Important spec differences... PB278Q vs VG248QE 27Inch --- 24Inch 2560x1440 --- 1920x1080 IPS panel --- TN panel 60 FPS capable --- 120 FPS capable No 3DVision support --- 3DVision2 support As you can see above, some features are better, some are worse. So what do you think? Is this an upgrade or a downgrade? Just so you know, this is an upgrade in my eyes as I get a higher resolution for my games.
My reasons being... I've been wanting to go to a resolution beyond 1080p for a while so 1440p makes a nice fit. (And isn't crazy expensive like a 4k monitor) 3D lost its appeal a LONG time ago and I just don't use it now. In fact. IF I miss anything, it will likely be that I can't game at 120FPS anymore.

No problem, will make that one of the first things I do (After booting all my games to change the resolution in them)
I also plan to do some comparison benchmarks with my games to see how frame-rates are affected.

Ahhh yes, 4K is to expensive right now. I'll consider it once I can get a good name branded one for under $1000
