So my 17" LCD monitor bit the dust today..
It has been having problems for a long time, and sometime last night and this morning, it finally bit the dust (won't turn on for even longer than a second), so I need your help finding a very decent LCD/flat panel monitor cheap. 17" is a must, but 19" would be nice if it is at a reasonable price..

1. Check overstock.com. My wife got one through there once.
Factory refurbished, however. If money isn't a concern, then don't bother. But if you want something decent and cheap, you might find something there. Just a hint.

3. I bought LeftyDad a sharp 17" widescreen with TV tuner for his b-day
He's very happy with it. Costco doesn't seem to carry it anymore though, we got it from them for thier nice return policy and the % back on my executive membership.

It's this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065XSU8/104-7976734-9865558?v=glance&n=172282&v=glance

5. Consumer Reports says: Dell for the 17" and Samsung for the 19
Dell UltraSharp 1704FPV -- a "best buy" ($350)

Samsung SyncMaster 910t -- another "best buy" ($465)

have other CU ratings if you need them (page is by subscription only so can't send link)
