For gaming alone I suggest a VA panel with low latency,I used to have TN panel, great for FPS-games, but colours and brightness in VA panels (and IPS for that matter) are so much more vivid.
IPS panels are more expensive, but are so much better for CAD and image manipulation, better colour and contrast.

I'm having so much fun with the 144hz screen that I can overlook any color deficiencies. Then again I have the 27" Apple thunderbolt display next to it if I want a pretty picture.

Switching from the old non-gaming monitor to this one has benefited me quite much. It's now much easier to make tracking shots, headshots etc. Even on regular desktop the difference is visible when you move windows etc.

I finished last night many rounds with an average accuracy of 34%. With the old monitor I was typically hitting at 16-17% on average.

The most important aspect in choosing a monitor is size. It's easier to hit something thats bigger!  As per resolution, I tried a 1440 resolution monitor (27') and things got a lot smaller. Went back to a 1080 display which was much better for killing... not as pretty, but better game play. Also the refresh rate is 144.... makes a difference.... with a GeFore 780 I'm getting a Vsync off rate of over 200 frames...... tried both Vsync on and off... seems to work better with Vsync off...  My next monitor will be a 32" 1440 display... as soon as they come out with higher refresh rate displays.  Based on this I'm thinking with a 4K display I couldn't hit a B52.

Depends on the monitor size. I suppose you'd do fine with a 60" 4k monitor
