Best value 17" TFT

iCraig · 06-02-2007, 00:02

I currently have a 2005WFP as my main monitor and a crappy 17" TFT next door to it. The crappy 17" is on it's way out and it looks crap anyway next to the Dell.

So I've decided now we would be an ideal time to get two better 17" monitors either side of my main.

Now, obviously I don't want to spend loads on them. I don't need them to be amazing screens as they'll only be used as aux monitors, for websites, coding, outlook etc. The Dell is the main screen for design, games and DVDs. But at the same time, I don't want a cheapo £29.99 Yugoslavian brand that's going to flicker and go garbled after a week of use.
Oh and preferably in black.

What monitor is the best bang for buck?

Thanks a lot.

Have a look through Haly's monitor thread. Good place to start.

Yeah I had some good advice even if I did decide to go for a 19" instead

Tescos do one for around £110 .. not sure the make and model but I needed one for my Den... We have a Tesco Home in chelmsford saw it - bought it. I'll see if i can find a link and get you the model number. It's not brilliant but it's fine for the sort of stuff i'll be doing on it
