Thanks for the replies.
Noticed Pcworld have the Philips 150s on a web only deal of £299 (£350 in the shops) ..... had a look at one and was reasonably impressed, plus it has a 3 year warranty, but still not quite as sharp as my Vaio laptop TFT screen ....... maybe I will have to lash out for a Sony panel.
Heard it said that a 15" TFT compares to a 17" conventional screen, and a 17" TFT to a 19" etc ...
Does seem different makes of 15" seem to offer a larger viewing area, or maybe its my imagination but the Sony's almost seem wider ?
Anyone know if digital input DV-I is worth paying for ?
