I'm sitting in front of a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 200 right now, and I 
have been since I bought it back in 2000 for $1000.  It's survived 
moving from California, to Rhode Island, to New Jersey, to Pennsylvania, 
and it still looks great.  I run it at 1600x1200 at 85 and I still have a 
perfectly clear picture from edge to edge.  Additional features you may 
not be aware of:

It has 2 vga inputs on the back and a front panel button to switch 
between them.  Great if you just need the 'V' of a KVM without the 
signal degredation that many KVMs incur at 1600x1200.

It's SOG, so it works fine with an adapter on Suns and SGIs.  (It also 
works with the Playstation2 vga adapter).
