Best TFT Screen ?
Anyone recommend a good 'budget' TFT screen ?
I currently use a Sony Vaio laptop and find the image quality faultless, but I now need a TFT for a new base unit and find many of the cheaper models around the £300 bracket for a 15" good at displaying pictures, but lack sharpness when it comes to text.
Many of the cheaper budget TFT's seem to blur text when scrolling.
Is paying the extra for a Digital input worth it ? I am tempted by a Sony 15" but they are around the £450 mark ....... I notice NEC's come out well in reviews .......... anyone any first hand experience ?

Philips 150S
Recently acquired a Philips 150S from Dabs.Com and it is an excellent clear TFT monitor, keen price at GBP 323.12 (inc VAT).
It is much better than the IIYAMA TXA3813MT that it replaced.
I have also recently seen a Compaq branded TFT (TFT5015) which is not as good as the philips.
Samsungs are supposed to be good too but I'll stick with the 150S

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 ?
