Me likey!  My current, old 4:3 aspect ratio monitor was bought before I moved to the Pacific Northwest and that was in 2003!  About time for an upgrade me-thinks. 
 
I'd go from a screen area of 11.75" x 17" to 17" x 27.14" - plus it will work with my current monitor arm so I can spin in into portrait mode too!  Considering I spend all my time staring at my screen, this would be a HUGE improvement.  I'd go from 1600x1200 to 2560x1440 too (my video card can handle dual screens at 2560x1600 so I'm good there).
 
Tempting... Especially since I get paid next week... 

I use a 30" for my DAW. At that price I could get that just for SONAR multidock (mixer and fx etc)

I went from 2x21" (1920 x 1080) to a single 43" 4K
I now have 4 x the pixel space and really, really close to the same physical window/font sizes.  I could've gone slightly smaller, maybe 39-40", but a lot of folks go for a 4K monitor, then everything is so small they start futzing about with scaling to make stuff bigger and then complain that SONAR isn't vector based.
 
I could NEVA go back!!
 
Wanna see a screen cap?  OK - look ma, no screen cracks!
 

 
((I actually have 5x the space 'cause one of the 21" is off to the side for pdf, monitoring, whatever.))
 
 

I am blessed to have the real estate at my DAW for two monitors, an 32 inch and a 27 I am going to replace the smaller one with another 32 inch , It really . for me., makes the workflow easier with console on one and track view on the other.
 
 

For me, I really need it for work first.  Most of my clients have two monitors (typically 23" or 27" jobs) and, when I perform remote maintenance, everything is tiny and I'm constantly having to hit the screen switch button...  Bleh!

Oh yeah, I still remember paying $1,300 for a NICE Sony 17" CRT monitor because it had the higher refresh rates that didn't give me a headache (completely worth it back then).
 

If you've been traveling forward in time at a rate of 1 second per second, you're probably older than you used to be. In addition to getting the Senior discount at Denny's and going to bed at 4PM, you also need a larger monitor. It's a health care issue. 
 
There is another factor to consider, however. You're not going to haul it around in the back seat, are you?
 
(Too soon?)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(I knew better, but I posted it anyway.)

So are you saying he needs 2 monitors....one for now, and one for the future refresh rate?

I had that same monitor! For years.
 
I'd driven 80 miles to grab it at the incredible sale price of just $1,000. At the time 17" monitors were typically 2 or 3 times that and normally seen only on high-end CAD/CAM workstations (who else would need anything that big unless you're designing airplanes?). I kept that beast for for way too long, just because I'd spent so much money on it I couldn't bear to retire it.
 
I recently had to replace a broken monitor, and shopped around to see if a single large monitor might be better than two small ones. I ended up sticking with dual monitors because two 22" monitors cost a mere $200. That's 44 inches total. I could have spent $600 for a single 42" monitor, and ended up with less screen space, or spent $800 to gain an extra 2 inches.

except that a 40+" monitor also has twice height of the 22"-ers.  One 43" has 4x the pixels of 2 22"
It's like having 4 22" displays arranged 2x2
