I don't see a lot to choose from in terms of sharpness.  I looked at
100% and screen sizes and get the same impression.  The main differences
seem to be in contrast.  The 50 and 90 seem to have a similar amount of
contrast, though the impact of it is different, with the 90 seemingly a
bit more pleasing to my taste.  The 135 seems a little softer in
contrast, perfectly fine but a little less exciting.  I'm not at my best
monitor, so I'll reserve a little judgment and give it another look
later.
