Panel types make a huge difference. Apple gets praised a lot because they use very high quality panels (which cost).
if you see a monitor, find out what sort of panel it has here: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ (under panel search)
IPS is probably best, and is most expensive. Apple uses these in Cinema display and 24" Imac
PVA/MVA are maybe 2nd best, maybe as good. usually a little chaper.
TN are 6 bit panels, not good for colour.
Then look around the internet for tales of weirdness on that exact model. (eg: a Dell 2407fp is not the same as a Dell 2409WFP).
NEC makes a reasonably priced (less than apple) 30". HP 30" is supposed to be good and HP 2475LP is supposed to be a good value in 24"
