I really lament the lack of 24-27" 1920x1200 TN panels available today. There are a few IPS panels but the cost and input lag on these monitors are intolerable for twitchy gaming, and their benefits in viewing angles and color accuracy are not essential for PC gamers.
I hate the way the manufacturers are flooding the market with 16:9 panels. This aspect ratio is more suited for watching television rather than the PC.
