17" TFT Rec`s
 
I`m looking for a tft, and being that 17" tft`s seem to be in abundance at just under £200. I seem to be spoilt for choice. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I use this one

I went for the 'wide screen' because I use it for watching DVD's, as well as 'normal' use - I've been very happy with it, no idea about current price, though - it was about £300 a year ago.

Looks very nice, but alas it`s too much money for me.

Totally I remember being very sceptical when they explained what they were going to do I couldnt quite believe it, no charges no nothing, they believe in there product's quality so much and they obviously have very few failures to offer a collect and replace policy of that calibre.

A little over your budget (it's just under £240), but apparently *very* good -

17" Ilyama ProLite (Silver) - http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hard...quicklinx=2SB4

Have you decided what features are important for you? You might want to look for: speed; brightness; contrast; DVI-D input; pivot display (portrait or landscape format); s-video input; composite video input...

Might be worth a look since its 19".. ? Comes in at £240.

I have a very nice AOC LM727 - allows you to switch into portrait mode rather than standard landscape, has height and angle adjustment. I got mine from Watford Elects (www.savastore.com).

IIRC, there is also an LM729 with DVI.

Jeesh, that`s a question. Features, hmmm i don`t know really. I don`t play games, just needs to be a good all rounder i suppose. Never thought about features. Now you`ve opened up a whole new can of worms here :Yikes:

I might be getting a tv card at some point, but that`s about as far as any thing fancy goes. I won`t be watching dvd`s or anything like that. It`s really a space issue more than anything else.

Aria Super Specials

About 3/4 down the page.

17" Arianet Premium-Plus TFT Silver: £152.69 inc. VAT.

Got one myself a couple weeks ago, they are fantastic, good for games and video files/DVD's. They also come with a 3 year warranty.

Delivery will set you back £9.99.

The model I got was a DIGIMATE L-1715, although this can change from time to time.

Hope this helps

Looks good. Certainly an option, thanks for that.
