Thanks Larry, you raise some interesting questions.
Is there anyway to figure out the maximum resolution that a video card
can drive? I have a 2gig geforce GTX 980 card. The documents give the
max resolution / frame rate for each of the output types, but no
indication of the total combined max resolutions using multiple
monitors. I'm sure it could handle a single 4k or 5k monitor (not that I
plan to go that far) but not sure about monitors in combination.
Can you elaborate on "1920x1080 is easy, anything beyond that, less so"?

I'm considering -
IPS panel technology
Minimum 1900 x 1080 / 1900 x 1200 preferred. I am only looking for a 24
inch monitor given to be part of a two monitor system, so I doubt I will
be able to get much greater resolution without going larger.
Some things to keep in mind:
What resolutions can your computer drive? I found out that my iMac
would not drive two 2560x1600 displays after I bought my HP monitor.
I am a big fan of having one horizontal and one vertical display. It
makes it a LOT easier when working on vertical formatted photos. This
could give you the space to run a pair of 27" displays rather than 24".
1920x1080 is easy, anything beyond that, less so.
There are some korean off brand 27" monitors that are much less
expensive than the equivalent apple displays, but I hear that they can
be a bit of a crapshoot.
Monitors tend to be one of the longest term investments, and the
portion of the computer that you spend most of your time interacting
with. It is worthwhile getting one that is a bit better than you think
you'll need, because you'll probably outgrow it before it dies.
