Looking for dead-sexy LCD display

Looking for something in the 17" to 19" range. Must have a DVI interface. I really like the look of the new Sony LCDs (http://www.sonystyle.com/intershopro...0/SDMHS73W.jpg). These displays looked sweet at BestBuy, but they don't have a DVI interface. Any suggestions?

No dead pixels, and the fastest pixel refresh rate you can get at the moment (no ghosting - yay!). I was looking at Hitachi and NEC, but this unit from Viewsonic uses the exact same LCD as those, but is far more adjustable. The Hitachi just goes up and down, the LCD tilts left and right but not up and down. The Viewsonic tilts up and down, left and right, is height adjustable, and can pivot 90 degrees. Pretty cool!

It has both VGA and DVI interfaces, 160 degress of freedom in vertical AND horizontal, and you can rotate the screen 90 degrees so that it 1024 x 1280 instead of 1280 x 1024. My unit cost under 470 Euros!! (used for two weeks for a demo, 1 of 25 units). iilayama also makes some nice TFT monitors at a reasonable price.
