Looking for a digital monitor to replace my CRT

[T101]

I am looking for a monitor to replace my current CRT, but the computer stores I can order from only have so many models and manufacturers.

I need good color representation (no visible dithering etc. if possible), good blacks and whites, and a very sharp picture quality, with good response times for games and video. I do some photoshop work, some video editing, and I game quite a lot.

From the three sources available to me I have begin to look at the following;
Viewsonic VP730
Viewsonic VX724
Samsung 173P+

All are 17" screens. What can you tell me about them, what are the good, the bad, etc. I need help in judging which screen I should get. Do you have another suggestion (not that I have that many available to order, but suggestions do not hurt).

Price range? Needs to be 17" or can it be 19"?

my recommendation if you really want the best for use in graphic design Text

No, I do not want a 19" because at 1280x1024, they have a larger dotpitch, which makes text less sharp. Price range is hard to specify since it would be in Swedish Kroner (3000 to 4000 Kr).

Skunkbuster; Which Eizo do you mean? their 17" seems to be rather slow, 12 ms, not even measured grey to grey.

The monitors I listed seem to be the best of what is available. Any comments on any of them?
