[TECnewhw] 17" LCD monitors - cheap!

[Trevor Cordes]

As predicted, LCD monitor prices keep crashing down.  17" LCD monitors are 
now cheaper than they've ever been.  Rumour has it prices will rise in 4Q 
(ie: November-ish), so if you've been thinking about an LCD, now's the 
time to buy one.

My best priced 17" is $447 for an Acer 17" with built-in speakers, 450:1 
contrast, 1280x1024 resolution, available in black or beige colour to fit 
your decor.  This is a brand new unit.  It is not a refurbished unit as 
many of the specials at big-box stores are, nor does it require you to 
play the rebate hassle game.

Note, most inexpensive LCD's (including this Acer for $447) use analog 
inputs.  If you want the best picture quality you need an LCD with digital 
DVI inputs and a video card with DVI output.  DVI LCD's are also getting 
cheaper, with a 19" LG available for $824, for instance.  Give me a shout 
if you want some more DVI pricing.
