Anyone else fed up of 1080p resolution?

Is it me or is this resolution too low for a pc monitor now most of us are moving to 24-27" monitors ?

At 22" (21.5" viewable) the screen is too small for proper large scale gaming at 16:9 ratio but you can get a nice crisp image at that resolution and size as its 10k pixels per sq inch (same as 30" 1600p)

but at anything bigger you might not see the pixels but you can 'sense' a lack of pin point definition and the edges of object just look ever so jagged.

I have a nice 25" 1080p HP monitor, even though its TN the image itself is great, saturated not too slow response and a decent enough black level, certainly can look fantastic. But after about 3 months of usage im starting to notice more and more the rough edges just slight, but still there and although i dont have to squint the text is larger than normal (which is actually ok for web browsing) i just cant quite get that looking through a window image.

Further more I wont go into aspect ratio`s but it seems (to my lamen mind) that in order to get a good screen hight and be at a safe and acceptable distance you really need 16:10 and 1200p or more? The 25" is a good width but i still feel like it needs to be taller.

The problem is when I start to look at 1440p or 1600p monitors at a good size I also start to see triple the price and usually there are higher response times so more mouse trail or with a high end panel type more input lag so better for graphics and poorer for gaming.

how long before 1440p 120hz screens? so also these large resolutions are 60hz.

maybe its just me, but i kind of feel that I have a very nice accurate TV and not a very crisp monitor? most of us have now bought into this and have 7k pixel pitch when 10k-11k is what we really need.
