Default 17" LCD 16ms - under £140

Aria.co.uk have a super cheap 17" LCD, and it is supposed to be pretty good!

Search for code : MON-TFT-A-V17S

I'm tempted to get one as its only 10 mins walk!

I may be building a system for a friend soon and I too, am interested in that. At the moment I've specced a 17" Black Iiyama, 15Ms response time, has DVI & analogue inputs, costs £222.00.

Do those models have DVI input?

edit: OK, just answered me own question: only analogue input and also you're meant to accept up to three dead pixels. Not such a bargain then, really.

But apart from that, purchaser feedback looks good, if we can believe it.

I'm not sure, but I doubt it to be honest

This is the Monitor I was looking at

And here’s both specced at Iiyama’s home page: Iiyama

I’d say the 431 is better specced and better priced – seems like a good deal to me.
