Flatout best monitor for under $300?

[Unbrok3n]

Ive read into monitors and ips, pvn, etc etc. Its like a joungle!
I dont care about size, all I want is the best monitor for photo editing that is ideally under $300, and I need it to be compatible with calibration hardware.
If you have the time, just tell me what your opinion is on the best photo-editing monitor and why. I would REALLY appreciate it.
Also, random question, but if I get a macbook in the future, I want this monitor to be compatible (if thats possible)
Thank you so much!

Can't help with the choice since the lowest I ever paid was $400.

But the MacBook can drive any DVI or VGA monitor, which just about covers all of the current ones. You probably need an inexpensive Apple adapter, though, since the built-in port on the MacBook is mini-DVI.

Im looking at the hp lp2065 (s-ips), hp f2304 (s-ips), and dell 2005fpw (s-ips)
Let me know what you guys think.
