  • I can recommend the 17" Digimate L-1715 TFT Monitor on the website posted above, which was on offer at below £100 +VAT a few weeks ago. It's still quite cheap now but if you can wait a few weeks it will drop back down again ;)

    If it's all you can afford, then the Digimate is ok. Personally I'd spend an extra £20 or so and either get a Samsung 913B (from https://www.savastore.com) or one of the well known monitors like the Relysis TL795. It's probably worth the extra expenditure.

    Tft's are forecast to drop in price due to over production anyway, so it might be worth waiting a couple of months and see what happens.

    My crt monitor fell off our desk whilst we were on holiday so i replaced it quickly with an acer.It was 139.99 and suits us.I know its not the top make some people would like but at the time it was what i could afford and i dont regret buying it. Regards, Elaine

    Where on earth did you find a Samsung 913B for around £140????? :eek:

    They haven't got any at the savastore and a quick look on google is throwing prices c. £260 back at me!!! Cheapest I could find the Relisys was over £160 too!

    And anyway, what's wrong with the Digimate? For the price (less than £120 inc) it's a super little monitor :D

    It was on the grab it forum, must have been a misprice as it's gone from £160 back up to £260.
