Eizo ColorEdge are allegedly amongst the best flat panel if you are aiming that high. If not there are a wealth of choices - ok for everyday use but colour critical they are not - Samsung are quite good, Phillips are quite good (they provide some for Dell) etc. But flat panels still have a way to go to display realistic colour - WYSIWYG from screen to print is generally poorer on flat panels compared to crt and even plasma.
