Sorry, for clarification, I meant 2560x1600 @ 16:10 ratio. From reading up on the higher rezzes, a good amount of games will upscale with a small minority of games locked in 16:9 ratio, which is what I was regarding. I don't mean to pretend that I know much about games for the higher rezzes above 1080p.
So working off the presumption that I have $600 disposable income, which monitors would you recommend for consideration? Anything comparable to a Yamasaki Catleap in terms of value for quality? And as I'm in Western NA, which purchasing outlet is my best option IYO?
EDIT:
Two other questions: on Ebay I see several different price points and some ranging features such as tempered glass, s-ips, etc. What would be the ideal model from Yamasaki, meaning highest build quality, highest image fidelity, etc.?
And regarding power consumption, is my TX650 sufficient for dual monitor setup with my AOC i2757FH and your recommendation? I don't intend to multi-monitor game, only on the 2560x1440 (but I would use the other monitor to run a web-browser for MMO wikis and the sort while playing).

If you're going with a 27" monitor or better, I would strongly recommend going with a 2560x1440 or better. 1920x1080 or 1200 is a bit low for a monitor that large, particularly for non-gaming applications. I love running games on my 27" (that I sit two feet away from) at native res. The level of detail difference between 1920x1080/1200 and 2560x1440/1600 is noticable, but it's also significant enough to create a perf hit. SLI/Xfire configs help a noticable amount.
The LED backlit version of the 27" Dell Ultrasharp is around your price range and a very high quality monitor. There are cheaper monitors that'll work fine, too, but the Dell Ultrasharps are top-of-the-line.
Here it is on Amazon for $650 right now, but the prices fluctuate constantly and I've seen it as low as the 550-600 range.

Dont be fooled. 1080 on a 27" its perfect but then again.. Why not 1440p if you can handle the cost
