How urgently do you need a new monitor? Your graphics card can play games at a higher resolution than 1080p quite comfortably. My impression is the market is moving up from 1080p and higher resolution monitors are already becoming more affordable. $200 certainly won't get you anything at the moment, but if don't need anything urgently, waiting and saving up a bit might net some nice returns. I've always felt monitors are something worth spending a bit more on. After all, it's what you actually spend most of your time looking at!
