Hi there Nav

You don't say which side of the pond you are on so price wise I can't be sure.

In the UK I have seen 19" TFT's on Line for betweem £120 and £150 - you pays the money so you make the choice.............However....

............... TFT's are becoming so common these days that if you look in the classified section of your local newspaper you should pick up a bargain for less than £40 ( abt US$ 60 ).

With computers, the thing to remember is that there are people out there who "must have the latest" ( they're the same with cars).

Oh, BTW, I bought my 17" TFT for £20 from the classifieds 2 monthes ago and she is running a treat. ;) - but watch it running before you buy!!

If it's games and videos, try looking at some of the widescreen TFT monitors (Tommy linked to one). These can give you a bit of an extra advantage is certain games as it will allow you to see more of the playing area on the screen at once. Obviously they are better for watching videos too as the ratios will be similar.

Give us an idea of price and we can all throw back more suggestions.
