Honestly man, I would just get whatever is on special.
Samsung, LG, and Dell make the best monitors in my opinion. Just get one that is a named brand and is the size you want + on sale. Especially if you are playing everquest, not like you are going to miss out on pixels. | ||

I'd suggest not buying a monitor and quitting everquest altogether.

I use a massive flat screen HDTV at home because they were cheeper than computer monitors. I regret it now. I like my work set up more with two average sized monitors. Get somthing with a fast refresh rate. Usually TV's have a slower refresh rate.

Honestly, go with a 27" 2560 x 1440 monitor. The general rule of thumb for monitors/TVs is the optimal viewing range is between 2-4x the inches of the screen. So if you have a 50 inch monitor you'd want to be sitting between 100-200 inches from the screen. That is roughly 8-17 feet...not really ideal for a computer situation. You could go smaller to like a 42" and make it 7-14 feet but even that sounds like it would be too far away for your setup.
27" is a decent compromise, it'll be awesome when you're gaming and function as a great looking but sorta small TV. I guess part of it depends which function you plan on using it for more.

Oh just an aside from what I said about, higher resolutions support sitting closer. So like the new 4K TVs you can go inside that 2x the inches threshold without seeing issues. Same applies to a 2440x1600 monitor at 27 inches. The guideline is based on 1920x1080.

On a similar subject I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on a good TV to double as a secondary monitor on occasion. I've heard Samsungs have good compatibility with PC's.
