There are three main types of LCD display - see http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php - and the Apple displays are the best kind, S-IPS/H-IPS. I bought a cheapo 22" LCD for my old G4 when I got my iMac and you can clearly see the difference in quality between that and the iMac's display. There are other S-IPS/H-IPS displays - Hazro come to mind - but they are almost as expensive, and the Apple display has an iSight built in of course..
