There is absolutely no question the best TFT flat panel displays are made by Sony. They have some new X-series models that are awsome. They have the best image quality of any displays I've seen. Very similar to the Sony WEGA TV's. |

I have 2 NEC 18's and they're fine, most(but not all) tft panels are made by the same people so the only difference is who packages them. budget is the main concern as price differences are drastic among similiar size screens.

In my opinion i think the Eizo Flat screen is the best in terms of picture quality...Plus its the only flat screen that comes with 3yrs on site warranty at where im staying. |

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I currently have my eyes on the SAMSUNG SYNC MASTER 17" LCD/TV MONITOR-170MP. Do you think that the TV would work in Europe? We also use PAL over here but a person told me that there are 2 types of PAL. Is that true?
Thanks

Sony X-Series - tried and true! I use it with a PCI TV tuner card... DEAD CHEAP!!! Decoy7: You sure? As I find SONY produces the sharpest images when compared side by side with 3 other brands... LG Samsung and i forgot the 3rd 1... :P

Sony is the best one I guess but it is very costly. I have two NEC 1525x 17" monitors and one 21" Sony. Both are good but you can notice the clarity better in Sony. If you want reasonably priced ones, then I suggest NEC series. They are good. |

I think Sony makes some of the best LCD and CRT displays... they also make some of the most expensive ones!  |

no question Sony make some of the best...just be careful your not spending money on a specific brand and getting the same screen that would be found in anothers casing for less money...although this is more common with lower end models in the 15 inch size category.
Eizo make good LCD monitors but also you'll find that some of their CRT monitors actually have the same Trinitron tubes found in Sony's...whoever you buy from make sure you see the monitor working at point of purchase as some manufacturers have a specific number of missing pixels per screen that is deemed acceptable...due to the way some TFT screens are manufactured missing pixels are a reality.
