I don't go for less than 800:1, usually going at least 1000:1.

I like this one: HP W2007 LCD Monitor reviews - CNET Reviews

HP makes really solid monitors, and this one not only performs quite well but it's aesthetically more pleasing than many other higher quality monitors.
I saw that one at Costco last month. It's very pretty.

Dell also makes really quality monitors, though I don't know much about their current offerings; I've had mine since 2002 and it's still going strong. My SO is now using it, as I have a laptop.
