I think best is a relative term. For me, as long as my code is readable, it doesn't particularly matter. I'm not doing graphics 95% of the time and when I do graphics, it only really becomes necessary to have a high contrast, high pixel density screen. I run dual Samsung 2770HD TVs at home as my monitors, they sit 2ft from my face and they're perfectly adequate for me and the price was right. I guess if you're anal about picture perfection, then you're going to have a very different opinion of what is "best" and mine are certainly a loooong way from the "best." When I watch a TV show or movie though, I don't get too hung up on the picture quality to just watch the movie and enjoy the story line. Of course, I grew up with a black and white TV in my room until I inherited the colour one that we had to tune with a dial and you got some snow interfering with the picture if the aerial wasn't just right. Oddly, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the show or movie that I was watching even slightly. The story line is way more important than the picture quality. For coding, the story line is the same... it lives in my head. The screen is really just a means to share that. I get no less enjoyment coding on a screen with a slightly lower pixel density than I do coding on the latest retina. Even after I've sat in front of one that's truly high quality, it doesn't take long to adjust back to a lower quality screen.
