It comes down to brand preference, really. This is because the LCD panel itself is usually manufactured by a third-party and then just "implanted" into a casing by whoever makes the monitor itself.

Specifications to keep an eye on though would be:
  • the refresh rate (express in ms). The lower the better
  • contrast ratios
  • native resolution. And be sure that your graphics card has enough horsepower to drive your chosen LCD monitor native resolution. Running an LCD monitor at anything other than native res produces some horrendous results.
