Acer AL1716S 17" Monitor

I have decided to replace my old CRT monitor because it has started clicking anf flickering. The Acer AL1716S 17" has good reviews and is available from Argos and Tescos for about £125 including delivery. I would like to know if monitors are supplied with all the cables and connectors or do you have to buy them separately? This may be a silly question but it doesn't sayanything on either website. I would also like to know if anyone has used ebuyer, they are selling the monitor for about £110 but I don't know anything about the company.
Thank you.

    My son has this Acer monitor and the image is very good, refresh speed is fine for games. If you were using it for serious graphics or office applications it might tire your eyes though (try to see the Acer monitor while editing a Word document and decide if the fonts are as clear as your CRT). At my workplace there are Dell Ultrasharp 17" monitors and they are just about perfect for office work - but too expensive for home.
