Quote - Rochr, i hope you aren't telling me that now because of the monitor i just went and purchased.

I mean are you just saying that for a general guide to all on what not to look at.

Don´t worry man, that was just a general tip for anyone working with graphics, not a poor attempt to be mean. :)

Normally monitors with TN panels are the 22" Wide screens they sell out really cheap at most of the large electronic hardware stores. These are good for gaming, but, with very few exceptions, unsuitable for graphic work because of bad color reproduction and calibration possibilities..
With most of these panels, it´s basically impossible to have a proper view of the colors in an image because the colors will change depending on from where you look at them. Move your head slightly to the right, and the colors will differ etc etc...
The good thing is that it´s a problem you immidiately see.

19" with TN panels aren´t as common, so you probably did a good buy.
