I work a production house where we develop HD content all the time. Aside from the comments above about 1080p, the next most important thing I think is the ability to color calibrate your monitor.

We have found that the plasmas (pioneer / panasonic) are quite good for this as they have a natural color gamut. We didn’t like the LCDs but we did our comparisons about 1.5 years ago so the newer crop of them may be better than the plasmas.
Refresh rate isn't as important -- as you will want to be running your work at normal refresh speeds.
