I am planning to get a 17-inch monitor to replace my old 15-inch. I'm not looking for top of the line but for the best bang for the buck monitor. I don't really have a list of monitors I'm interest in yet and I want some suggestions.

I got the Samsung 753DF from Best Buy for $199US with a $50US rebate for my partner. Its a great monitor for the price and I ended up buying 2 more for my other partner and little brother.

Thanx guys.

Anymore suggestions so I can have a list to look at to compare prices and features. Maybe I'll change the question.

What 17-inch moniter would you recommend or which 17-inch moniter do you currently own (if you own one)?

I posted this in the other 17" thread as well.
I just got a 17" NEC Fe700 Flat Screen CRT Aperture Grille (good for graphics/games) at Staples for $200 w/ $20 mail in rebate. Looks great, optimum resolution at 1024x768 or 1200x1024. 1024x768 seems easiest on my eyes with plenty of space on the screen to ovoid an overcrowded feeling.
