I believe the differences are more than just the dot pitch. More expensive
models usualy have higher frequency which is quite important (especially
when staring at it for a long time). Try to look for the one with at least
85Hz at the resolution that you intend to use (say 1280x1024 for instance; I
think 1600x1200 is too high for 19"). Just be sure the video card can handle
the same resolution and frequency at true colour mode too.
Also, you will find the 0.25 would be slightly sharper than the 0.27 one. I
think the most expensive SONY has 0.22. The NEC that I am using has a funny
design (0.25 at the centre, but 0.27 at the corners). I have not noticed any
problem though.
