Thanks tetsuo!

The P19-2 does get good reviews (here and in other places), the only negative remark I've read somewhere is that its color reproduction isn't very accurate. At the moment I'm slightly leaning towards the HP, which was also positively reviewed here (I'm aware though of the negative experiences some people have reported here on the forum with moving images).
In the meantime the discount on the Dell has expired (but I guess it won't be long before another discount is launched) and I've also found out that de Lacie doesn't have direct input selection, so that one is off the list now.
Decisions, decisions...

Hi there!

I'm wanting to buy 2 19" screens for a dual monitor setup. Uses: primarily music production and CAD, also Internet and Office.
I'm having a very hard time deciding between these 19" screens (prices are for 2 screens):

Dell 1905FP (670 euro until 24/01/2006)
HP L1955 (690 euro)
Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 (715 euro)
Lacie 119 (725 euro)

Time is running out for a good price on the Dell so I need to decide fast!

Detailed specs compared here:

(the specs for the Dell are for the old version though, apparently the new one uses a P-MVA panel with 8 ms GtG response time, see here: )

Since it's for a dual monitor setup, a thinner bezel is of course a plus (though all these models have fairly thin ones), but main deciding factor is of course image quality.
Also, I want to connect 2 PC's (one via DVI, the other via analog) to the screens so I need the ability to switch between the DVI and analog inputs easily with the push of a button (as opposed to having to enter an OSD). For that reason the Acer AL1922As (considerably cheaper than the other candidates) didn't make my final selection. I can't find any info on whether the Lacie monitor has this functionality. Anyone knows more?

Any insight, experiences pro/con are really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Tom
