Tim Grey gives guidelines on what to look for when choosing a monitor, or a complete system, in his article Pixel Performance on the MS web site here

Maybe useful to you in considering the specs of different models.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
