Good cheap 17-19" LCD Monitor?

[Gotham33]

It won't be hooked up to a computer used for gaming. I'll be doing audiot stuff (Protools). Do I even need a monitor with DVI? Any recommendations? I've been waiting until Dell's DVI monitors go on sale again and then maybe getting one of those.

yeh, sounds .liek you dont DVI for sure, and as far as cheap and decent goes any of the deals
over in HD forum at around $250 AR right now would be considered decent for sure(for a 17"). Things to consider for your 'normal' use is size, looks, speakers(or not, they usually suck), and detachable base(if you wanna mount somewhere, studio style), other factors such as response time and such wont come into play for you, but as a extra precaution try to go see one in person somewhere before ordering

www.newegg.com has a few nice ones 17 and 19 inchers for under 400 I believe, a 17 incher for 280 I think...cant remember the company

So I'm thinking about the 17" CTX LCD that has DVI. Should I be worried about the 8 dead pixel policy or just order it anyway?

I just picked up this Advueu monitor from Newegg. Sharp picture, no dead pixels, and the price was right for a second system.
