I know this would not fit in your budget but go with a 1080p IPS monitor instead of any 720p or TN monitor.

And in case you go for a 1080p monitor, then go for 21" above.
I have 900p laptop screen of size 15" and 1080p monitor of size 24". The texts are more comfortable to read from my monitor. This is obviously subjective so it will be better if you can a demo of monitors you are going to shortlist.
