Sony X-Series - tried and true! I use it with a PCI TV tuner card... DEAD CHEAP!!! Decoy7: You sure? As I find SONY produces the sharpest images when compared side by side with 3 other brands... LG Samsung and i forgot the 3rd 1... :P

Sony is the best one I guess but it is very costly. I have two NEC 1525x 17" monitors and one 21" Sony. Both are good but you can notice the clarity better in Sony. If you want reasonably priced ones, then I suggest NEC series. They are good.

I think Sony makes some of the best LCD and CRT displays... they also make some of the most expensive ones!

no question Sony make some of the best...just be careful your not spending money on a specific brand and getting the same screen that would be found in anothers casing for less money...although this is more common with lower end models in the 15 inch size category.
Eizo make good LCD monitors but also you'll find that some of their CRT monitors actually have the same Trinitron tubes found in Sony's...whoever you buy from make sure you see the monitor working at point of purchase as some manufacturers have a specific number of missing pixels per screen that is deemed acceptable...due to the way some TFT screens are manufactured missing pixels are a reality.

ummm that looks quite nice. The fact that it doesn't have a built in TV tuner is putting me off. Maybe I should waith until they make one?

@ejasim:
I have a Samsung TFT Screen and I had no problems in 3 years. (Only 1 deadpixel) And a friend of mine 2 years and no problems.
But my father has a sony one and the screen has 5 dead pixels in 2 years. And my girlfriend also has a Sony TFT screen and in 1 year (4 deadpixels)
So I finally prefer a Samsung.
(In my pint of view I prefer a DVI connector on the screen instead of TV tuner due to you can buy a TV tuner separately and shure it will be better)
Yours faithfully,
