I bought the 27" PB278Q at 1440p and aside from having my old video card struggle to keep up with some things at that rez, it's been a great monitor. I have a 26" 1080p Doublesight as my (former primary and now) secondary monitor and it's excellent as well. I wouldn't sweat going up to 26" at 1080p especially if your vision isn't 20/15. (Mine is about 20/20 but I have a big desk and I don't really have any issues with it as it is a good IPS monitor.)
