Philips vs Hitachi vs Viewsonic

[wertyu5555]

Hi i am going to buy 17" Tft. i am between Viewsonic vp171b,
hitachi 175sxw and philips 170s4fg. Have someone these monitors? what are your suggestions? I read that viewsonic and hitachi are greats but nothing about the philips which it is more cheaper than the others.

I recently bought the VP171B and am VERY happy with it. Got the best price for dell.com. Paid $420.00 out the door. I play star wars galaxies and battlefield 1942 with no problems at all. DVI connection is incredible. This monitor out performs my envision 17" CRT by a mile. The pivot function is pretty neat to. Especially when reading through msg board threads....less scrolling
