NewEgg has the Hanns-G 27" video monitor on sale for $199 with free shipping.
These monitors are awesome for DAW work...I have two of them and both have worked flawlessly for years.
Some people don't like the 1920x1080 resolution...but it works perfect for me when using Sonar or Sony Vegas.

For $199, I bought a brand new 32" HDTV, and that is my secondary display.  My Primary display is a 46" HDTV.  Having screens that big and split across two displays is FABULOUS.
 
The display requirements for the graphics in Sonar are so basic, HDTV's work just fine for Sonar, and I got WAY more bang for the buck by getting TV's instead of visually better but more expensive traditional PC displays, such as the 27" one you mention in this thread.
 
Anyways, whatever works for folks is the way to go, so those who are happy with the image appearance using larger HDTV's for displays go that route, and those who appreciate the more refined image of a purpose-built computer monitor screen, flat-panel, can go theirs.
 
Either way, you can get a lot of display for not too much money.

I had two of the same monitors, bulky but good. I have since moved on to a single Dell 27" with higher rez.

What not to like about that resolution?

It's not 1280 x 1200.  The extra 120 pixels give you a bit more room vertically for track lanes.

I have their 2 year old 28 in hdtv and it's been stellar...paired with a smaller Samsung. Thanks for the tip! Last day! Ordering now...

I prefer the 1920x1200 resolution but they are no longer available for 27 inch monitors.  I notice there's a very reasonably priced 39" 4K TV/monitor available now and has a resolution of 3840 x 2160.http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-Inch-Ultra/dp/B00DOPGO2G/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1381843414&sr=1-3&keywords=4k+monitor+3840x2160
Although they don't appear to be available in the UK yet.

Samsung have just released a 27 inch monitor with an extremely slim bezel which would be great for multiple monitor setups.

Although they don't appear to be available in the Western world as of yet.
 
 

I would suggest if you are in the market for a new monitor, you check out the ASUS 27 inch multi touch monitor.  Great rez, IPS and of course, TOUCH enabled with SONAR is like having a RAVEN.
 
I have the 23 inch model also but the extra bucks for the 27 inch is worth it, IMHO.
 
If you shop around, you might be surprised how affordable this larger format touch screen can be.

I currently have a 24" 1920x1080 monitor.  Would a larger monitor with the same 1920x1080 resolution, such as the 27" Hanns-G cited by the OP, just make everything look larger, but not show anymore of the interface on the screen (for example it wouldn't show more tracks vertically, or more of the timeline horizontally)?  
 
If that is the case, then I assume if I want more real estate to show on the screen, I would need higher resolution, right?
