Question Views of the Following 17" TFT's?

As ever hope soumeone can help?

I'm in the process of buying a 17" TFT and having done some research was looking for some views/opinions on the following as I can't decide which one to get.

Acer AL1715ms
CTX P762A
Digimate 1715

I will only be using it for web browsing, some video editing and general stuff at home, no games and want something with integrated speakers to save space, so any feedback on the above or any alternatives <c. £150 would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Of all the 17's we're stocked this year (there have been many), the Digimate has proved itself as equal most reliable in it's budget range.
It's a nice looking screen too and is wall mountable.
Three year on-site warranty is also a bonus.

The screen giving it a run for it's money at the moment is the Samsung SyncMaster 710v
With change off £150, this is the TFT i'd go for.

Cheers for that.

Tony, everyone seems to like the Digimate, whats the sound like from the speaker, only needing it for some music but is it any good?? The CTX appears to have more poweful speakers hence the interest in that one.

Anyone else with anyt views on the Acer or CTX panel??

Cheers

The speakers in the digimate are as you'd expect...naff.
I've yet to encounter integrated speakers that are any use.
