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.

Re: 17" TFT Rec`s
I use this one
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Moni...nitor_172W.htm
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.

Re: 17" TFT Rec`s
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...

Re: 17" TFT Rec`s
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 
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.
