Please recommend an LCD computer monitor for my cabinet!

[javeryh]

Right now it looks like I'm going to be using either a Dell 17" or 19" LCD monitor (if the 19"er will fit).  It will be displayed vertically and used only as a mame monitor (no computing or anything).  Does anyone have any recommendations on other LCD monitors that would work well (and are inexpensive/less than $200)?

Thanks!

Don't know if you are still looking for the LCD...but www.pcconnection.com has a 17" and 19" LCD with rebates for under $100...the 17" is $70!

I'm debating between the two currently.  I'm thinking of building a bartop as my first cab...the LCD would make it nice and slim.  I guess I'll probably end up going for the 19" anyway though!

Anyone have much experience with pcconnection.com or using LCD's?

I'm not sure about those monitors, but I do have experience with Daewoo LCD displays.  The new Lucent-Daewoo TFT monitors rock.  They also have the Pivot facility which is a boon for those vertical game moments.

Knock on wood - I have not had any bad or dead pixels, and the screen quality is amazing.  A nice feature is the inclusion of both DVI and VGA.

3 year onsite warranty and its cheap £99 +VAT.  They have them in different colors.  I have one in my cab, an older model and it still rocks.

With the dollar -sterling rate might not be the best, perhaps there are suppliers offering the same price in dollars.

www.scan.co.uk is a good place to take a look.
