Tom's Hardware has an excellent article on LCD tech and what you need to know to choose one. You can find it here.

There is another thing you should take into account : dead pixels. You can read more on that here.

I guess it's like anything else.

Look at the specifications

Read reviews

Check the prices

Listen and take advice from people who have a similar TFT to the one you are interested in (recommendation)

And of course! go and see for yourself! many big PC vendors have TFT's on display, take you application or game down to load and check.

There are lots of considerations like:
Screen Size
Dot pitch
maximum resolution
Response time
Viewable angle
Contrast ratio
Build quality
Warranty
Look/appearance
Physical Size
Anologue and or digital DVI
etc etc
AND....... PRICE
