First off, I would not go with a refurbished product. Pay the $40 more and get a new one.
Try looking at newegg.com. Most items on there have reviews that you can look through to give you a rough idea of how good or not somthing is.
For a monitor you want 1080p, hdmi hookup, high contrast ratio, a fast response time(for gaming), and good customer support. 

You can have the best monitor out there but if your color and gamma settings are off then your going to screw up a photo editing it. It will look good to you but not anybody else.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

just pee on it and walk away. :-)
