my dads friend needs space on his desk and wants an LCD, but he has some eye problems from diabetes so he wants a relatively good one, be it a 15" or 17" LCD, if its DVI only ill need a cheapo video card to go with it...in fact id probably better get one anyway

being a crt user...i dont know much about them, what kind of contrast ratio is needed and what a good response time would be, or who to get it from...what brand...model...etc

any tips or suggestions? ive looked around newegg and at pricegrabber and some other places, but i just dont know much about lcds and dont want to reccomend something for him and make a bad decision

thanks

*note* i had this in general hardware yesterday, no replies and hes in a bit of a hurry, thought id try here :)
