Currently out of stock on the website.

This appears to have an excellent set of connections including 2 scart and PC in.

If it is possible to get it at this price I was thinking of it as a replacement monitor (as well as TV).

Not a bad price for a quality 17" Widescreen monitor except it only has a refresh rate of 60Hz and for a monitor I would prefer 75Hz. (Though someone technical may tell me that it does not matter so much for LCD monitors but that is worth checking first). Also it does not tell you the response rate.

My guess from looking at it that an LCD designed to be a TV may not make such a great computer monitor.

Refresh Rate
Some users of a CRT may notice a bit of an annoying flicker, which is an inherent trait based on a CRTs physical components. Today's graphics cards, however, can provide a high refresh rate signal to the CRT to get rid of this otherwise annoying problem. LCDs are flicker-free and as such the refresh rate isn't an important issue with LCDs.

By the way the technical manual for the monitor can be found on the link below.
