The Sharp LL T17A3-B is a good 17" TFT monitor that doesn't really stand out from the crowd, but does its job well and the picture quality is great in both productivity software and games. I wanted a TFT monitor that I could transfer back and forth to university easily, but also one that would have a good enough update rate for gaming. This one seemed to fit the bill.
