I am looking for a 17" TFT and wonder if someone can advise on the best models?

I will be using it mainly for reading/writing, so crystal clear text is my no 1 priority.I will also be watching DVDs, but not gaming.

I was thinking about getting one with a TV tuner, my budget is up to £180.

I have been considering the following models - does anyone have experience of these?
Samsung 741MP with TV tuner (£150)
LG L1752S 17" (£100)
LG M1717A-BZ 17"with TV tuner (£189)
Hyundai ImageQuest X71S 17" (£125)

I would consider 19" but it sounds like the quality and contrast ratio goes down on models under £200, is that right?

Grateful for any advice you can give, guys!

If you have a budget of £180, you may be better off going for a 19" widescreen... especially as you say you like to watch movies, widescreen is sooooo much nicer !!!!
Have a look at these :

Nothing wrong with the contrast ratio's on these models... i have found my 19" widescreen to be better than my previous standerd 4x3 17" ?
