Can someone recommend a ~$200 *ANALOG* LCD?

[murphy55d]

My buddies daughter drug a magnet across their computer screen the other day(she wanted to see if the magnet stuck to computers), so now he wants to spend around $200 for an LCD, but it needs to be analog. His PC does not have the white digital connector. He says 17" is sufficient.

Can someone point me to the best 17" analog LCD? Thank you all.

There are many choices at newegg.com, or you want to get it locally?
Try this one? SXGA 17" $147.99
or
this one... WXGA 19" $179.99
Both have analog as well!

DOesn't have to be local. I am way out of the hardware game though, I don't even know what's good anymore. Just lookin for some recommendations.

Pretty much any LCD is going to have an analog input. I haven't seen any with DVI only (and not in that pricerange either).

Did your buddy try degaussing the CRT? That usually clears up distortion caused by a magnet.

Dell normally has at least one LCD model one sale for a good price. I'd certainly check them out, too.

I picked up a Viewsonic @ office depot 2 weeks ago for about 180.00, 17", speakers, vga and dvi input. Last week I got 2 at Fry's (outpost.com) for 200.00 each, no speakers, vga and dvi input.

17" may be sufficient but in your price range is this 19" widescreen at $190.

I pick up LCD monitors for other people every now & then. I was pleasently surprised with Acer's monitor:

I've purchased Toshiba, Samsung, BenQ, Samsung, NEC, etc. and atleast the Acer set that I received had the best picture I've seen.

i have passed on your recommendations... i think the WS sceptre may be the winnar.
