I also used several 17" Apple monitors. As long as they served well, the picture was excellent, but two 1710 models died from electronics failure and the older and even taller Apple 17" Trinitron died from ongoing disintegration of the plastics.
A few years ago I opted for a pair of EIZO L365 LCDs. Their platinum grey bezel matches perfectly old Apple gear and seems not to yellow at all (multy sync up to native resolution of 1024x768, stereo speakers, VGA and DVI input). The video connector cable from the Apple design 15" display can be used to connect the L365 to a standard Macintosh video output without the use of a separate adaptor.
