Other than LCD, LED is the only other option under 32". You can go above and consider plasma TVs. If you want my opinion on that, I'll gladly tell you how nice my $2000+ TV is... but that's no use to someone who is looking for a monitor. If you want to compare LCD to LED, just go to a computer store and look around. See if you can spot the difference between LED screens and LCD screens. Most of the time, I usually can't tell the difference. People say that LED is better than LCD, but the fact of the matter is that there are some LED monitors that are better than others. Make sure to compare direct LED versus edge LED (which would create your grey edge problem you don't want). LEDs that are used in monitors mostly use edge LED so my recommendation is to stick with LCD. If you are buying above 32", then LED is a smart choice but make sure it's direct and not edge.

you'll have to decide the following:
size
resolution
panel type
design
brand

good monitors arent cheap mind you.
sorted by size:
Dell U2211H(468-7485) Black 21.5" 8ms
Dell UltraSharp U2410 (464-7346) Black 24" 6ms
Dell UltraSharp U2711 Black 27" 6ms
Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" 7ms

the bigger you get the more expensive it gets.

dont open the spoiler if you're a nazi.
(click to show/hide)PS: monitors > TV, because TVs usually has a lower native resolution and higher response time.
notes:
response time = it is the delay from the signal, if the response time is higher then the delay is more noticeable(click for a shoot? wait 0.250seconds before you see it on the screen)
refresh rate = it is the speed of changing frames per second, if the refresh rate is lower then ghosts become more visible(ghosts are the left over image of the previous frame)
screen resolution = the number of pixels your monitor can output, usually the larger the screen resolution gets the harder it is for your GPU to handle, but the quality becomes better.

Not to be a Nazi... (:P) but this is what I use as my computer "monitor". That's a 6-7 year old LCD TV with a response time of 8.0ms... A modern day LCD TV has at least 10ms response time. True... there are monitors that do 2.5ms... but... can you tell the difference of 10ms (250ms is very noticeable)?

kitamesume:
^ yes it is, ever played an online game with 200+ latency? it has similar effects, the moment you click on your mouse actually takes milliseconds of delay to get through, getting a headshot on a moving target gets hard as a result.

ah and, theres another problem, the delay from the online games stacks with the response time of the monitor, making it moooooooooore horrible XD well at least dont grab a monitor with a response time higher than 8-10ms.

Osmo:
IPS, LED are good monitors.

Check the latency. it usually has a number then MS, the lower the better.
And if you can 100hz motion plus is gorgeous.
