i think getting something with a Trinitron in it at the right size from a reputable brand name and use your calibration hardware/software on it is all that is really needed. the critical thing for a photographer is the color management. built-in color management hardware has its advantages. Trinitron tubes are good enough and monitors these days have super high refresh rates so that isn't a problem anymore. the major brands are mostly interchangeable except for the color management support. there are reputable alternatives to Trinitron picture tube monitors, but they tend to be expensive. i think that the Mitsubishi professional monitors with built-in color management hardware are a good value.
