Hi,
after reading several reviews, both here and newegg.com, I still can't decide which one of these 3 LCDs to buy. I want one to play games, watch movies, and work (visual studio). All 3 seem quite capable for all these tasks, but i'd like to get the best of these. While tom's seems to praise the viewsonic to heavens, newegg's reviews are more in the favor of the 970P.
The price is not a factor.

Opinions and/or advice would be very much appreciated, thanks!

Personally I think the VP930 is far better than the two Samsungs.

The 970p looks nice and all, but the stand has shortcomings and it has a captive lead with a breakout box that can't be unplugged.

The panel in the Viewsonic is superior but the 970P has that iMac style cool look to it. In reality there isn't a lot in it, but I'd still go for the Viewsonic if somebody else was paying...
