I had a 25" 1080p monitor for my home desktop (in Austin, I brought it up to Denver to use as a second screen for my laptop) and do not like it as well as the pair of 24" Dell Ultrasharp monitors that I had at my former job which will run up to 1200 pixels vertical. Right now I have a couple of 20" Dell Ultrasharp (not widescreen) monitors that I picked up at Discount Electronics for around $100 each that do 1200 vertical. The screen height is about the same as the 24" widescreen (which run at almost $500 new) that I had on my old office computer. For Revit, 3DSMax and Photoshop type of work the higher resolution is much nicer.

I do agree the current 1080p monitors are a much better upgrade over the older screens and for gaming would probably work great since most games aren't going to render higher than 1080. Congrats, hope you enjoy it.
