If you want the best professional LCD, be prepared to pay big bucks - 2 to 5 K. If you are a hobbiest, most name brand 24 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel monitors work well but 2 monitors is a plus for Photoshop work. Look for something close to 100 pixels per inch (PPI).

I'm happy with my 24 and 20 inch LG LCDs. My son's Dell 24 inch looks the same as my LG. I also use a 19 inch CRT to double check my important images.

No matter which monitor you purchase, be sure you understand monitor calibration.
