I am looking for the best sub $2k screen for my chill-out room. The most important criteria is that it need to handle being used as a computer monitor (at a viewing distance of 1.7 meters - see link above that shows the set up).

Any one got any recommendation?

A year ago I bought the Sony Bravia - which I want to replace with something more suited for my needs: 

[The main reason I wanted the Bravia was the Matt finish of the panel - which means it wont reflect sunlight off - my room is well lit and I often work from home.

• However, when watching HD content, the Sony does not do a good job of rendering skin tones (sometimes it shows up as an artificial red). In fact you will notice that with the entire Sony mid range LED Bravia if you stand in JB Hi-Hi long enough - especially when the same picture is being beamed to Samsung and Panasonic TV's next to it that does not have this problem!) 

• The other problem I have with the Sony is the slight ghosting of letters when you are typing on the computer when it is used as a monitor. I guess this is probably related to the slow refresh rate of the screen used in TV's [See this post last week on a similar topic].

There is so much to choose - with so many models - many half the price of what they were a year ago! Should I wait for boxing day?

At the moment the best I seen so far is this model from Magnus Benrow (they got a third off deal this week):
