Is buying a new monitor just for 1080p worth it?

Ok, I bought a LED LG monitor 20 inches with a resolution of 1600x900 last year to replace my old CRT and I really like it. The thing is: I bought this monitor specially because of the 1600x900 resolution. I had a 9600 GT at the time and I had to choose the highest resolution that wouldn't be too much for the card (after some research, I chose 900p), but now I have a GTX 460 that can handle 1920x1080 fine. I want your opinion. Do you think it would be worth it to buy a new monitor just for the extra resolution?

I don't think the small difference in resolution is going to blow you away but you can get 24" 1080p monitors now for like $150 bucks. I would think you would enjoy the difference in sreen size more then the small increase in resolution. If your going to do it at least get a 23" or 24" screen and make it worth your while.

My two cents.

Actually, 22 inches is the biggest size that can fit into the desk here (I measured it)

Probably not. Just enjoy playing games at that resolution.

Short answer: yes.

If money isn't an issue.

I personally have been playing at 1680 x 1050 on a 21.6" screen for 3 years and enjoy it. Occasionally I switch over to my 40" Sharp Aquos which is 1080P and I actually don't like the experience as much.
