I run two monitors one for photoshop palettes, or web browsing the other for editing. I would like to get a good monitor, one that calibrates well. Anyone have experience with this? If only I would have got a Mac to begin with , lol

There are ways to do better than a Mac. What's your target size and budget?

You should be able to meet that, most likely in a 24" panel. You want an s-IPS panel with a fluorescent backlight (LED backlights are more power efficient, but unless they use R, G and B LEDs (the only ones I am aware of that do are some high-end laptop screens) they cannot produce the same gamut as a fluorescent backlight.
One that seems to get good press is this one. Not a personal recommendation, I have no direct experience, however I've seen a lot of good written about it.
I personally just bought the Dell U2711, which I am loving, but it is a little more than you wanted to spend.
