Help buying equipment

[nv2998]

Hi,
I need help buying a computer monitor. Currently I use a Macbook Pro 15' to edit and print pictures, but I need something a bit bigger and accurate. My budget is around $300. I was looking at 20+ inch IPS monitors. Any suggestions?

OR Can I buy a TN panel (24inches) and calibrate it and get good results? I am going to be printing a few photo books for family use (using apple's printing service) and all my current photo book are not turning that accurate even after calibrating (spyder3)
Thanks for all your help.
