Hi Stefano, I suggest you consider Sony or ViewSonic. Sony will be the first choice, however, the price...; ViewSonic is not bad all, and its price is resonable. I won't suggest you NEC for graphics design. It's color is not as good as Sony or ViewSonic (I used three before). I recently upgraded my monitor to ViewSonic 22" (CRT), and I'm quite satisfy with it (price and quality). LCD, you have to pay a lot to buy their display quality as good as CRT. I prefer wait till their price drop :D Glad to know you're going to upgrade you pc finally :)
