LED backlit monitors (IPS, not TFT) are amazing, but will need to be color-corrected with a third-party tool if you're going to be using them for serious photography work.

The expensive-but-really-good option is the Apple Thunderbolt Display, though there are plenty of monitors at the very pro end that make the price tag seem like a steal!
