The most important thing is to buy a matte screen, rather than a glossy 
one. Unfortunately, the glossy ones are much more fashionable right now 
because they look "shiny", and because the blacks are slightly deeper. 
But the matte screens (usual for older thinkpads; not sure about the 
newer ones) are much better for actual use, because they don't suffer 
from reflections nearly as much.

The other key thing is the screen DPI (dots per inch) - the 133dpi 
screens are amazing (eg 15" 1600x1200) compared to the more normal 
100dpi screens.

HTH,
