You can get a lot of 17" LCD monitors for under $1000.00. Look on some 
web sites like Outback, PCNation or even Dell. This week Dell had a 17" 
Dell LCD monitor for $799.00 with free shipping (I think), had good 
spec.
Look for a LCD with 400:1 contrast and at least 250-300 brightness. You 
will see some low priced units with contrast of 250:1, avoid.
