either a Philips 170S4 or the Liyama 430-B both in black. I would really
like one with a thin outer edge (bezel??), not bothered about integral

Obviously I'm biased so bear that in mind, but...

If your budget is £350, *do not* buy a 17" TFT. Or at least
first take a good look at 19" flat CRTs selling at the same
price, or a bit less. You will be gobsmacked by the difference.

A 19" flat CRT screen (like the LG Flatron one for example) is a *lot*
less than £350, I think they're under £200 now.
