There are three panel types: TN, UVA/MVA, and IPS. TN is the cheapest, with
the shallowest viewing angles and weakest color reproduction. IPS is far and
away the best, but kind of hard to find since the panels are expensive. But,
if you can get one, they are excellent. Properly calibrated, it'l like
looking through a perfectly clear window. The HP 2065 is one of the least
expensive IPS panel displays, and produces a very nice image.

It appears to me that in the world of LCD displays you generally get what
you pay for.
