I'm a big fan of the 24" widescreen monitor, 1920 x 1200 resolution. The Dell 2407 is excellent and is just under $800. Two of them side by side is even better, and cost less than a single 30" display.
I think it is absolutely worth it. You can keep sizable multiple windows open at the same time, and you can view a two-page spread of a PDF document.
