I got a Smtron one a few months ago. Very nice crisp display. I normally
use it at 1024 by 1280 at 16M colours though I think it will do higher
resolutions.

( I think they do 2 17@ models, this is the more expensive one though I
got it for 460 UKP from Ideal Hardware on they end of accounting year
bargain day haggle. )

One of the nice things about it is that you can toggle between the D plug
and BNC input with a switch on the fron panel. This enables you to work with
2 machines with no replugging which is very nice.

If you want to spend 700, one of the big Nec multisync monitors might be a
bit nicer though I'm not certain of that. I've used both and I certainly
think that the Sam is better value for money.
