GTX 580 at 1440x900 resolution?

This. Spend the extra money later, or on something that is more future proof than a GPU, such as a second monitor, nice M+KB ect.

I'm all for saving money, but I honestly can't see myself getting into gaming on multiple monitors. Probably one of them things that once you've experienced it, you can't go back to a single monitor.
 
LCD Panel tech

"In-plane switching (IPS)

In-plane switching was developed by Hitachi Ltd. in 1996 to improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor color reproduction of TN panels at that time.[6] Its name comes from the main difference from TN panels, that the crystal molecules move parallel to the panel plane instead of perpendicular to it. This change reduces the amount of light scattering in the matrix, which gives IPS its characteristic wide viewing angles and good color reproduction.[7]

Initial iterations of IPS technology were plagued with slow response time and a low contrast ratio but later evolutions have made marked improvements to these shortcomings. Because of its wide viewing angle and accurate color reproduction (with almost no off-angle color shift), IPS is widely employed in high-end monitors aimed at professional graphic artists, although with the recent fall in price it has been seen in the mainstream market as well.

So it'll be listed in the technical specs when I look around for monitors? or is it literally a standard, as in, it's in every modern monitor?
