Reasonably priced 17" LCD?

[shyguy74]

I'm looking for opinions on a reasonably priced LCD. Ideally, it would have a DVI connection. This is for my sister's non-gaming PC. She watches a lot of DVDs and does some image editing, so the LCD has to perform well enough for those two functions. Oh. and if it matters, the LCD will be plugged into a Gainward 650/XP Ti4200. Suggestions?

Hmmm, I'm looking for something a little more useful. Sure, there's reader reviews, but most of the monitors have only 1 or 2 responses, which isn't helpful enough.

I bought a GEMSTAR GL- 821A 17" LCD monitor from newegg.com. It is great for DVD and games. No DVI connection though. Only $510 though...

Just FYI, if you live in somewhere that a Fry's electronics is available they carry this monitor (at least mine does in Austin) and it sells for about the same price (shipping and sales tax cancelling each other out). You could check it out first that way.
