Help Needing a Monitor and Windows 7

[Milkshake]

Yoes!

I've been out the country for 8 months and have only just switched my PC on to find that the Monitor is fuzzy and the beta version of Win 7 I had installed is all grumpy.

Bah!

Seeing as the 'Hot Purchases' thread hasn't been bumped in a while, has anyone seen a good monitor? Looking for a reasonable sized wide-screen, can spend about £100-150.

Also, Windows 7 - where's the cheapest (and legit) place to get that?

Thanks muchly freddies, and I hope to be more active on the forums again now that I'm back

LG monitors are pretty good, this might suit: LG W2043T 20 LCD Monitor Widescreen 1600x900.. | Ebuyer.com

Alternatively I'm sure you could go up a model or two if you wanted to spend a little more...

A nice one for £149.99

Good link for the software Zenith, but I need to get a full install - it's a new machine and I've not had a Windows licence previously.

Ok, I've seen these Monitors that seem like a fairly good choice.... in my order of preference. Any reason I shouldn't? (You may have noticed I've upped my budget a tad )

I've got an LG W2261VP recently. £130 from play.com, 22" and full hd. been impressed with it so far.
couple of my friends have the Iiyama Pro Lite E2407, and they're happy with it, so if you can stretch to that, it's a decent buy also. I went with the lg myself though as my budget was a bit lower.

Windows 7 Pro Edition is pretty much the same price most places.

This is as good a place as any:
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Full Version (PC DVD), 1 User: Amazon.co.uk: Software

Although if you are happy with an OEM version then this is worth looking at:
