I haven't used all of the monitors you've listed, but I'm sure that others will agree with me when I say that Dell makes fantastic monitors. So, that gets my vote.

I have a Dell Ultrasharp and love it. However, I stopped recommending them as their current anti-reflective technology results in a very noticeable sparkling effect when reading text on a light background. Look at the reviews and you'll see many complaints about it.

If you were working on photography or video, I wouldn't worry about it. But since you're working on websites, that could be bad.

Apple's

I have Apple's 24 inch LED Cinema Display and it does the job for me. You can also get the 27 inch(non-thunderpants). The 24 inch LED CD is a really nice monitor for the money. Most can be had now for under 300 bucks.

The other plus is the fact it has built in isight. For those who have a G5 or G4, You will require the MDP-DVI adapter from Atlona or from Kanex on Other World Computing. That way, you can use the LED 24 OR 27 on PowerPC macs as well.

Mac Pro and iMac don't require the adapter, as they already support MDP.

On the NEC front I can tell you the i1 pro will work fine with it. The 2490 though has been end of line for about 2 years. Could you stretch to a PA241 as it has a better quality panel than the P241 (IPS with wider colour space). If not then go for a slightly smaller screen like the P232 or Eizo CG223.
