I would want a monitor with DVI input over VGA input in todays market.
The best way to chose a monitor in my opinion is visit some brick and mortar stores to actually see what they look like and gather the brands and models numbers then go price shopping online, what looks good to me may not look good to you and vise-versa.

If you find one one you really like post the name and model to get some input some of our posters who may have one but remember they seem to change models every 6 months so you may not find someone with the exact model.

Usually almost every number they put with screens are tricks to up their sales, best thing you can do is go to a big store, watch them play and note the model and brand. Then you can look where you can buy it cheaper :)
