    a lot of the screens your looking at are most likely the same.
    theres not a lot of screen makers, the main ones are LG, Viewsonic, Sharp, Samsung, Fujitsu, S-LCD(Sony), as well as sony un-retailed manufacturers like AU/Quanta, CoolTouch.

    I think your choices would definately be a min of 1280x1024res and id personally go with an Asus. LG or ViewSonic

    The 1505 only has VGA.

    Check with Dell's regular LCDs, they often have sales with great prices. I picked up an e207wfp 20" LCD for $299 Canadian a few months back.

    If you are buying from USA you can easily get a 19" for $250. Viewsonic and Samsung are two manufacturers who make pretty good LCDs for a very good price. newegg link

    well
    the manufacturer of both asus and viewsonic lcds is a company called chei mei optronics.

    So their own brand is number 5 on your list.

    I would choose samsung or lg, but next cmo as the best one that is a little cheaper.
