What is it you want to know? Hitachi makes beautiful monitors if
you can afford them. Some people don't like the barely visible mask
seam line in the Trinitron, but it's otherwise a good deal. All of
those monitors will handle the refresh rates shown. All the cards
you mention are decent cards, but a year or two out of date.
Also, depending on your application, you may not want such high
resolutions, even at that size. I run my 20" NEC at 1152x864 with
no problem, but higher than that would be hard to read for me. Also
note that 1280x1024 is the wrong aspect ratio (has non-square pixels)
which might be a problem for art design. 1600x1200 is correct, as
is 1280x960, which some of those cards will do.
