17" for mutimedia

[mrzed]

I'm looking for a budget 17" LCD (standard aspect) to use as a second monitor for the HTPC. This will be mounted on a bar looking into the kitchen, and used for watching TV/Videos, general web surfing and office tasks, and occasional light gaming.

Most 17" LCD's are fairly cheap these days, so $ is a factor, but not the only one. I think I am looking for:

- Decent viewing angles
- DVI support
- Good enough response time for TV (games secondary)
- Narrow bezel for stealth (black preferred)
- Bonus points for built-in speakers
- Bonus points for inexpensive

NOTE: Don't waste effort linking to Newegg, I am Canadian, so I will likely be buying at:

NCIX or Future Shop or something like that.

Thanks for any and all replies.

I live in canada, i cant seem to spot any 17 inch with dvi or speakers...
so good luck with that

you should jump on the Samsung 19 inch for 230 that futureshop has... it doesnt have dvi or speakers though

Thanks for the input. Speakers are an optional extra for this purpose, but DVI is a must (will be running a 25' cable) and 17" is as big as I want to go. I was even considering 15, but too hard to find now.

I found this LG at NCIX LG L1752T

Specs look OK, but I can never figure out what panel type these things are. Anyone know how to dig up the panel info?

Any other suggestions out there?
