My daughter is desperate to move the computer I built for her last year
in to her bedroom, and because of space issues I'm going to have to
replace the 19" CRT and speakers with a 17" TFT with integrated
speakers.

Seeing how much she loves to point / press the screen I'm fearful that
a regular TFT may get damaged or at the very least be difficult to keep
smear free. So I want a glass fronted one.

Thinking in to the future she may want a freeview box or DVD player in
her room (when she's old enough), so I would love to find one which has
an S-Video input (as well as the usual D-Sub), and a headphone socket,
rather than fork out for an overpriced poorly implemented composite-VGA
converter box.

The only snag is having spent a while googling I can't find anything
that matches the requirements. For example AG Neoveo make some with
glass fronts and s-video (X-17AV), but no speakers, or glass and
speakers (E-17), but no s-video.

Can anyone think of / recommend a TFT that fits this criteria?

TIA - Rufus.

I think Xerox (really) do one - it's the best-looking screen I have ever
seen.

You can get one here

- may get cheaper elsewhere - not sure.

Is the Sony X-Black glass fronted? It certainly has a shiny appearance.

Oh, I *do* like those. OP did as for speakers and audio jack though.

Might not stop me flexing the plastic....
