Yup - good advice - check the reviews of said monitor and pay attention to anything which mentions photo work and calibration... while some may be good for gaming (when the average gamer doesnt care too much about colour rendition) they might not be good for photo work.  Contrast ratio is also a good one to look at 1:800 is generally a good benchmark (pay no attention to "Dynamic" contrast btw - that is mainly for games and film watching)

In every stone sleeps a crystal.

Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
