Monitor for Platinum

I am using a 24 inch monitor and thinking of getting a larger one.   Should I be worried about refresh rates and monitor latency?
The 32 inch ones seem to be about  5 ms.
 
I am not sure I am posted this in the right place on this board, but it seems that the monitor is a particular important feature of using Sonar Platinum.  I am not really interested in dual monitors.
 
Thoughts?  Comments?

    No.. Just worry about what you get with your wallet. Bare in mind your display adapter will need to support your monitor according to it's specs.

    Make sure it's got a good resolution, otherwise things will be bigger but without the detail. 4K resolution would be good (but as noted by Doktor A, this needs the video card). Personally I have two 22-inches stacked one on top of the other, spread the desktop across both and run Sonar in portrait mode with tracks at the top monitor and console / prv at the bottom. The portrait mode is also useful for my regular office-based jobs.

    After messing around with different setups, I found two 'landscape' monitors and one 'portrait' monitor (all 24") work pretty well.   Your video card has to handle it, naturally.    Because of some of the rigidity of sonar's UI, you lose a lot of vertical space to useless things, so it's the height, not the width, that constrains your work.
