Default 1600x1200 LCD monitors (other than Dell and Samsung) and eye strain Qs

I'm shopping for a 1600x1200 lcd monitor. I've read numerous topics about Dell and Samsung's models. It sounds like Samsung has a better image, but poorer response time. I'd like to be able to use the monitor I get for games as well.

I'm fairly concerned with my eyes wearing out while playing poker since I work full-time as a software developer.. so I looked around to see if there was something that had the faster response time and a high quality image.

There seem to be a few other models out there such as Viewsonic's and Sceptre's. How do these and some of the other $800-$1000 models compare to the big 2 always discussed here? Is Dell's image noticeably worse than Samsung's? Does Dell's 60-Hz at 1600x1200 cause more eye strain than the models which hit 75-Hz?

I'm not much of a hardware junky and just haven't found too many clear answers after a fair amount of research.
