Well, what you want to do defines what monitor you should buy. If you want to play with the VRAY, than buy something cheap, but if you want to be a proffesional, than buy some good monitor, and don't get cheap. This is one of the most important things in the CG, besides the fast machine. And when you buy one, get it calibrated.
