Unfortunately, because of a recent remodel( our built in computer desk was built with flat panel measurements), I now must stick with the LCD because of space problem. I also love the sleek look.

I will be following the advice of others here and go for the View Sonic.

I'm not convinced that one brand is more reliable than another. Solid state electronics are nearly impossible to test for reliability. Dead or stuck pixels are the number one flaw in LCD monitors. The cost of repair is pretty much prohibitive, so the life of an LCD monitor is determined by the length of the warranty.

There are differences in LCD monitors that are important if you ever use them for watching movies or editing images. If you do these things, look at all available brands before buying. Written specs are not reliable indicators of image quality.
