All of those are solid brands, and considering the panels are all made by the same couple of manufacturers, any should do you well. The main thing to consider is, if you are planning on gaming and watching movies on the monitor, the ms response times. Ideally, you don't want that higher than 5ms actual or 2ms GTG for a gaming/movie monitor. So, determine which of those have response times in that range, and then check for online reviews.

If you didn't know, the response times refer to how quickly the monitors pixels can go through a color cycle, slow response times can cause blurring in games and movies. GTG (grey-to-grey) timings should be multiplied by ~2.5 to determine it's actual response time, many manufacturers use the GTG number because it's smaller and thus people tend to think it's faster.
