I currently have a 17" Samsung 710N with analog input, and I'm looking for a 19" widescreen with DVI. I'm debating between these models:
I have several questions. Right now, I'm primarily considering the Samsung and the Hanns-G 191 simply because I know Samsung is one of the best screens in the business, and they both have free shipping. The Hanns-G has the superior contrast ratio (700:1 vs Samsung's 500:1), the Samsung has the superior refresh rate (4ms vs Hanns-G's 5ms), but other than that, there's not much difference spec-wise.
So, which would you guys go for and why?

Since I first posted this, I crossed off 2 monitors. Now, it's only between the Hanns-G 191 and the Samsung.
