An LCD screen has better viewing angles, and generally looks better, and tend to use DVI instead of VGA. If your going to get one, get one with DVI connections, as DVI is nice.
What about a DELL monitor, they make some very nice ones you know..
Make sure the response time isn't more than around 16 ms - basically the higher the response time, the blurrier anything in motion on the screen will look i.e. videos.
