If your getting an LCD make sure it has a high contrast ratio, it makes a HUGE difference. The better the contrast ratio is, the better viewing angle you will get. Most of the cheepo' LCD's just aren't useable for accurate color work.
Other than that, calibrate with Adobe Gamma, it comes with the software.
They sell devices such as the Spider that condunct physical mesauments of color temprature for settings, but imo they arent needed.
When I'm working on Photoshop I tend to blast the brightness and contrast up from time to time when editing... it's lets me see even the smallest of detail, lost pixels, or dirt in the image.
Then have a saved setting that's been calibrated for print (set to most closely resemble the output from a physical print from the printing service.).
Try messing around with Adobe Gamma and color matching your screen Pantone Swatches to paper Pantone swatches.
