OT: good flat screen display for editing/cc

Anyone can recommend a good 21-24" display for editing and color correction? Right now i have a 19" CRT that is still going strong but i need to expand my desktop. I have a good JVC TV monitor connected to my setup for color correction so the color reproduction is not "that" critical but still i would like a good over all display. (Cheaper the better of course).

I like s-ips panels and this one might be a good one to consider.

Eizo now do a monitor with all the goodies minus the HD SDI inputs for less than a king's ransom. Still they are around USD 3,000 which is heaps cheaper for this class of monitor than what you'd have previously paid. All comes down to your definition of 'cheap'.

Cheap is Apple Cinema and below.

I bought this one recently Eizo 27" 1920 × 1200 :

Very good colours. Reasonable price.

Tried several monitors in the buying process - also 30" but the resolution 2560 × 1600 there seems make the dots too small and so making text and icons difficult to read.
