    You guys know a lot about TFT's

    ...Well, there's my compliment, and I need some advice

    I am building a PC for my younger brother and one of the new components needed is a monitor. We have decided TFT for space, and we have up to about £200 for this specific item.

    Was thinking that a 17" quality option for this price is better than a 19" budget expecially as he plays lots of fast moving games (fps's and the like.)

    What would you guys recommend basically! I need to know what I am looking out for and in this case is it worth holding onto the big brands like Sony, LG etc or does it pay to look elsewhere.

    Thanks in advance...

    700:1 and 8ms...

    ...plus (if I remember correctly) they have full after-sales facilities in Stevenage...

    ...hard to go wrong

    Wonder where you might be able to get it without paying for delivery ?
