1000:1 doesn't worth the price.

It's an IPS panel. You give up the ultra fast response of a TN panel for way better colors. But I'd hardly call 6ms "drunken monkey" speed.
That is a true contrast ratio. When you see a monitor with a 1 million to 1 ratio, it's artificially raised by the dynamic back lighting. If you turn that off (which you should if you are gaming) the true ratio will be around 1000:1 in most cases. Besides you should look for color accuracy more than contrast ratio, that is the number that actually means anything.
I personally think 1080p is just fine for me. But I have always been a more mid-range kinda gamer.
With a respons time of a drunken monkey no thx.

Not only that: There is no standard test for contrast ratio. Every company does their own thing and essentially just say whatever the hell they want. Two monitors from different companies rated at 1000:1 could be worlds apart.

With 150% scaling it may be not the best, also getting .Net 4.5.2 helps with some .Net apps, as prior to that version, there was a bug with Windows.Forms controls scaling. Anyway what I tried and worked perfect, in alphabetical order:
- Battlefield 4
- Diablo 3 in native screen resolution
- Firefox, with all the pages I tried (I haven't tested Flash)
- Notepad++
- Office 2013
- Paint.Net
- Spotify
- SQL Server Management Studio
- Visual Studio 2013
- Windows 8.1 in general
- All Modern UI (Metro) apps
What works poorly:
- Chrome, at least the build I tried at that time was just bad no high-dpi stuff at all, reverting to big pixels
- Diablo 3 required compatibility settings to get it to work at lower res and was showing huge cursor
And that's it. I don't really use much more stuff.
The trick is to use 200% scaling and proper settings to make legacy apps look ok, but I didn't really have to deal with it.
If I could trade my 24" screen for 4k one without huge lag, I'd do it right away.
