My computer monitor is good... I went through at least 10 different models before settling on this one as being the best.  Although unfortunately it was a model that came and went, and is no longer sold.  Although the important points as far as I can tell are:

-- VA panel
-- internal power supply with 3-prong 110v cord
-- has the old analog VGA / D-SUB inputs (which is what I use)
-- native monitor resolution is 1920 x 1080, but I feed it 1366 x 768 (and the monitor's scalar is good)
-- flicker-free / PWM-free backlight (this may be the most critical element of them all)

It's a BenQ 28" monitor (GW2870H)... maybe the current crop of BenQ 27" flicker-free monitors are good also, I don't know.

Flicker free / PWM-free certainly reduces the noise that is broadcast into the environment, so maybe also less on the wires as well (I don't know).

I don't personally think VA vs IPS makes much difference, although I know of others who (in their limited experience) think that IPS is bad.  

I once had a work monitor that was IPS, and it was fine.

For the record, LCD computer monitors burn my face and eyes. I have to have the brightness very low on mine.

LED are even worse and I can't use them at all - the flickering really dazzles and upsets my eyes. I can only use older LCD monitors with CCFL bulbs.

I have observed that all of the really tolerable monitors I've purchased and kept using have internal power supplies with a 3-prong (grounded) AC cord.  Although the "common wisdom" on these groups is that you should always get a monitor with an external power supply (which in my experience have been monitors that are intolerable and get returned)
