I am shopping for a 19" LCD monitor for my wife for Christmas. I am trying to figure out which is the best that is under $500. She plays games EverQuest mainly, ghosting is a concern. EverQuest is not a fast action game like one person shooters so not sure if this is a big deal. She has a Radeon 9800pro video card with DVI output. Here is a the LCD's that I found in stores where I live. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

ViewSonic VX900 * 600:1 contrast ratio * 25ms response time * Analog & DVI-D
NEC 1935NXM * 450:1 contrast ratio * 16ms response time * Analog & DVI-D
Sony SDM-HS93/B * 700:1 contrast ratio * 25ms response time * Analog only
Samsung 912N * 800:1 contrast ratio * 25ms response time * Analog only
LG Flatron L1920P * 700:1 contrast ratio * 25ms response time * Analog & DVI-D

We are leaving town for Christmas so was hoping to buy one by Sunday, that is the main reason why I would like to purchase here in town.
