My new years resolution is....1080p

So my last monitor packed in and had a old back up monitor which runs at 1280x1024  (though oddly can go up to 75Hz)

Been looking at a lot of monitors firstly i can say 4k is out of the question. Game wise rigs capable of running games  at 4k at a modest price is a long way away and also with 4k monitors in there infancy there is still a lot of improvements needed.

G-sync monitors i was really really tempted with but with the choice of monitors not being that many.Upgrade kits no longer for sale and the price premium for the g-sync is a bit to much

In the end i plan to look for a monitor that is 144hz less them 1ms response time  (ideally price wise around £200-£300) the Asus VG248QE is at the top of my list at the moment but if anyone has any other ideas please let me know
