Starting a new wish list...

Ya, I know I just built a new system this year. Really I'm looking at getting a new monitor. I'm really loving my 17" Samsung SynchMaster 710T, brilliant 12ms response time and all. But I've been overcome with jealousy over my wife's new 19" Dell LCD. Sooooo.... I'm thinking of getting a nice gamer LCD to replace the 710T for LAN parties, and use the aforementioned one for everyday work (attached to my workstation and others via KVM). My hangup is dual outputs (DVI and Analog), mostly because I can run the gaming server from the LAN party off of the Analog output on the 710T right now. Minor concern, if I were to really get WinXP Remote Desktop working right then I shouldn't need that. Here's what I'm looking at:

Samsung 915N Black 19" LCD: 8ms response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness; 700:1 contrast ratio, Analog RGB only input. $304 Newegg.
Samsung SyncMaster 930B Black 19" LCD: 8ms response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness; 700:1 contrast ratio, Analog RGB and DVI digital inputs. $434 Best Buy.
ViewSonic VX924 Black/Silver 19" LCD: 4ms (gray-to-gray)to 5ms (typ) response time, 270 cd/m2 brightness, 550:1 Contrast Ratio, Analog RGB and DVI digital inputs. $419 Newegg.
BenQ FP91G+ Black 19" LCD: 8ms response time, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 550:1 Contrast Ratio, Analog RGB and DVI digital inputs. $349 Newegg.
