Looking at the LCD sticky, there are a few recommendations for prosumer monitors which I've listed below. There are a few pro monitors listed by they're very expensive. Now would an IPS screen be the best choice, and are there any LCDs that you'd recommend for a full-time graphic designer that aren't listed in the sticky? Thanks!

1. 20.1": NEC MultiSync LCD2070NX 1600x1200 (4:3)

Response time (bwb/measured): 16 ms / X-Bit Labs
