The monitor (Sony vs Hitachi) you get depends on which 
graphics option you buy.  However, the comparison of
display 'quality' between the Sony and Hitachi has been
noticed and can actually be corrected.  The Hitachi monitors
are adjusted to have colors that are more 'pastel' then the
Sony, and users, trying to get the picture to look like
a Sony (great color separation) crank up the intensity.

I believe that the Hitachi monitors will be properly adjusted
to give the Sony look after May (as shipped from HP).  
If you want to compare a Sony and Hitachi monitor side-by-side,
wait for the properly adjusted Hitachi monitors.  I think you
will be surprized.  You will find that there is very little
difference.
