Any decent monitor with IPS panel will be a step up from your laptop, as long as it's properly calibrated. I have a NEC Spectraview 232, which is somewhat overlooked, because it's not "wide gamut". But it's a true color critical monitor like the rest of NEC professional series. Just yesterday, I did the calibration and the average deltaE (the difference between reference colors and the way, how the monitor displays those colors) was 0.23. Anything bellow 1 is considered indistinguishable to human eye.
Personally, the lack of wide gamut does not affect me much, because to my knowledge, there will always be small differences between wide gamut monitor and finished print due to the fact, that printers or papers are not capable of reproducing the deepest tones of either aRGB or sRGB.
There are many good and cheaper monitors out there, like Dell (already mentioned), HP Dreamcolor or even some Asus displays. Wether they are "good enough" - only you have to decide.
