Some things don't scale well. In particular, stupid java remote console screen send pixels not fonts.

So, I've decided to get a  new monitor for my primary desktop computer at home.  I'm thinking of going with a 27" or so to replace the current 20".  Now that resolutions over 1920x1080 are becoming more mainstream, and approaching the "I can afford it" range, I'm wondering if they are worth it.  Anyone using one of these on a Linux system?  I'll be using XFCE on openSUSE, BTW.
Wondering if I should go that route, or just pick up a 27" 1920x1080?
Thoughts?
