Opinions on the following 17" LCDs, please!

Hello

For those who have seen or used any of the following 17" LCDs, can you
please provide your opinion?

1) Sony SDM-HS73
2) Sony HX-73
3) Sony X-73
4) Planar PX171M
5) Planar PL-171M
6) Hitachi CML175SXW (or CML174)
7) NEC LCD1765

I've only been able to find Sony SDM-HS73, HX-73 and NEC LCD1765 at
the local stores (Fry's, CompUSA and BestBuy). Of these 3 that I've
seen, NEC LCD1765 had the best picture and sharpest text, followed by
Sony HX-73 and Sony SDM-73. From this group, only Sony HX-73 has a DVI
input. As far as the response times are concerned, Sony HX-73's and NEC
LCD1765's are 16 ms while Sony SDM-HS73's is 20 ms.

I've heard that the price for Sony SDM-HS73 after rebate is $399 after
a $50 rebate, at Fry's Electronics. This alone makes the monitor very
attractive.

OTOH, I've read great reviews on the Hitachi panel, Planar PL-171M
and PX171M.

Therefore I would like to read anyone's opinion who has either seen or used
any of these LCDs, specially the ones that I can not evaluate before
purchase (Planar, Hiatchi, Sony X-73).

If per the unlikely chance there is someone who has seen all 7 of these
monitors, which one would you choose regardless of price?

Thanks very much in advance.

Don't forget the Princeton VL1716, it's even better than all
the ones you mention, plus DVI and Analog input, for a nice
price.
