AOC Trumpets 27-inch LED Monitor with 2ms Response Time
Big screen monitors with Full HD 1080p resolutions are all the rage these days, and the market just grew by one with the release of AOC's e2752Vh, a 27-inch LED display with a 1920x1080 resolution and 2ms response time (GTG). AOC's monitor also houses a pair of 2.5 watt speakers that supposedly deliver SRS-quality sound, though if you're a gamer looking take advantage of the fast refresh rate, you'll undoubtedly be better served by sticking with your 5.1 headset or old school Klipsch 5.1 ProMedia Ultras you bought back in the day.
"This cost-effective WLED monitor cuts down on energy consumption while offering the features that power users search for in a display – an extremely fast response time, impressive image quality and a sizeable screen," said Robert Velez, AOC Marketing Manager.
The image quality Mr. Velez touts is helped by a 20,000,000:1 dyanamic contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness (typical), both of which are on the higher end of the spectrum. Connectivity options consist of DVI-D and HDMI, both with HDCP support.
Perhaps one of the neater functions of the e2752Vh is the iMenu option. This lets users access the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls and make changes using their mouse and keyboard. AOC's monitor is also capable of breaking up the 27-inch screen into four self-contained work areas using the embedded Screen+ software.
The e2752Vh will start shipping in April for $300.

I can't wait until monitor manufacturers up the resolutions of the "cheap" monitors. 1920*1080 is rather weak. Why not go for 4x 1080, say, and simply upscale if the connected device can't deliver? We're doing that now with the current generation of consoles, after all :(
My 23" Acer is pretty nice IMO (though it lacks HDMI audio pass-through) but I could stand to go bigger. 28" monitors now regularly sell for what my 23" cost almost 3 years ago, but they have the same 1080 resolution. More inches + same viewing distance + same resolution = lower image quality.
I've become such an "HD snob" that even watching 1280*720 on a 1920*1080 screen pains me. The difference is immediate, and it has made console games nigh unplayable for me. Mass Effect 3 and Soul Calibur 5 are tedious for me with their sub-par graphics (and gameplay for ME3). 360 games might claim to be 1080 on the box, but for some reason 1080 looks a lot more kick-ass on the PC ;)

5.1 Ultras!
I still have those speakers, and they are still the best PC speakers ever made.
Monitor thingy looks nice.
