RE: Cheap TFT - was the DABS 18" TFT with Tuner

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Ken,

Just to throw in a word of caution (I do seem to be taking the
contrarian view more often than not at the moment)! I've installed two
of the dabs value screens to date, and they are OK, but when you see
them side by side with say an Iiyama fed by a DVI cable (which is what I use myself) then there are blown away. They're good for the money, but
if you are prepared to shell out a little more, then there is some
fantastic quality to be had.

Tim.
