Just bought this HP 27" 2560x1440 IPS LED one for $450, and it's changed my life! It has much higher contrast than my last monitor, as well as every other monitor I've seen. Note they also have it used for $350.

With that resolution have you had any problems with text being too small and with adjusting DPI settings?

Yes, I hooked it up to my Win7 gaming rig, and had to turn interface scaling to 125% and zoom in on most web pages. It works well, and font rendering is drastically improved.
