Help with purchasing monitor/tv for computer

Just wanted to get some opinions on options for a monitor for my Macbook Pro. I dont really want to shelf out the money for an apple display when there are options that are cheaper and have a faster refresh rate. The main problem I face is color calibration. I am a photographer so i need a monitor that I can easily calibrate to my Macbooks color profile. At the same time though i want to be able to hook up a game system and watch movies, so the 14ms response time of the cinema displays may not be good enough. I am also considering an LCD tv as well, but face the same issue of color calibration. Anyone have any suggestions of what might work for me? Thanks
