17" LCD for DVD's

[crisscross]

Hi,

I need to get a 17" LCD, the primary function will be to surf the web and watch movies- I know 17" is not big enough for DVD's but I currently have a 7 year old 15" CRT ) so 17" LCD is BIG!

I live in India but my cousin who is coming here will be picking it up from the US, so which one would you guys suggest? After some research i narrowed it down to a couple of models... which one would you recommend? and if you have something not on this list... please feel free to post them as well..

1. Princeton Senergy $294
2. Samsung 712N $370
3. Viewsonic VP-171B-2 $356

I cannot use rebates as my friend is moving to India for good so even though the Senergy and the Samsung have Rebates they are of no use to me..

Thanks in advance!
