I've got an LG monitor and a Wacom Cintque.  Both are good monitors.  The key is setting up the colour balance and things properly.    There is a pro way of doing it but it's expensive.  I've just found that settings the levels to my personal taste does a good enough job.

Thanks both I will check them out

Great thread, I have the same question!

It does depend on the laptop, mine has a generic panel and works well enough for photo editing when its calibrated, I use a Spyder 5 but its not cheap so a external display is probably the best option.

Hi Alan I looked at the spyder 5 but I think even if I used that I would still have an issue with the screen being to reflective

Have you looked at the BenQ gaming monitors?  I use a 27" one and they are excellent.  Very quick refresh rate, fantastic colour correction and anti-glare.  Not that cheap but you do get what you pay for.

Hi Ray 

That does look good the 24inch is a similar price to the others

They are very good.  I've had mine for a few years now and I can't fault it.  

BenQ are used in pretty much all the professional gaming competitions, so for them I would think the colours need to be spot on, so definitely one worth considering amongst the other suggestions.
