Too many monitors!

So what do i get? There are just so many options out there right now in the monitor department.  I want a monitor that is between 24" and 27".  My preferred resolution would be 2560X1440, but, this resolution monitor is pretty expensive, usually above $600, and the only size if have found is a 24".  Second preferred resolution would be 1920X1200.  These are fairly rare, from what i have found, are usually above $500 and come in 24" and 25".  Then there is the more standard 1920X1080 in 27".  These i can find everywhere for cheap.  Even below $300.  At that price i could get 2 of them, which would be pretty rad.  So what do i do? get 2 cool monitors or get 1 awesome monitor?  TOO....MANY.....OPTIONS!!1
