My TFT monitor is dieing, so I need a new monitor. I have a 9800 Pro
graphics card, and a 3GHZ AMD processor with 1.5gig of PC3200 DDR. Any
suggestions on a new monitor available to the UK? 17" max, must be LCD or
TFT.
Thanks

Not sure about availability of it in the UK, but the Samsung 172X is
getting some good praise. There was even mention of it in the new issue
of Maximum PC magazine that just hit the newsstands here in North
America and they really liked the 172X. I understand the 172X comes in
25ms and 12ms variants though, so be careful of that. 12ms would be
pretty sweet. I personally have not seen it here where I live in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I agree on the 172x, it was also reviewd here in Australia with PC Powerplay
with a score of 95/100 @ $AU900, specs are, 17" viewable, 500:1 contrast
ratio, 160/140 viewing angle, analog/digital interface and 1280x1024 native
resolution. It is what I will be buying within the next few weeks anyway.

Dont know if youre limiting it to 17" based on price but I got 2 of these
18.1" screens @ £280 each :-

DONT be fooled by the specs - I was expecting lots of ghosting and poor
color reproduction but they are as good if not better than many screens @
£500.

However the stands and speakers do suck monkey-bollocks - that isnt going
to stop me buying another pair when I can aford it.
