23-inch IPS is where it's at.  I basically have the Acer equivalent to the one GF posted: Acer H236HL (http://www.amazon.com/Acer-H236HL-bid-23-Inch-Widescreen/dp/B00AZMLIDQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1432779682&sr=1-1&keywords=Acer+H236HL)

It offers better angle viewing than a TFT panel.

They actually narrow the viewing angle.  The idea is that it's more comfortable to look at things on the periphery, especially if you're running multiple monitors.  It's very much a niche thing, though- most people who aren't financial analysts or professional gamers don't have a need to spend that much on an edge (pun not intended) in peripheral vision.

Curved monitors might be gimmicky, but I kinda want to get myself one of these...
