The Dell 1800FP is a good monitor. I have 4 of them, and they have good refresh rates, which means I don't get headaches when playing FPS games. However, they have a non-standard pixel orientation, which means that ClearType in Windows gets messed up. That can be fixed using Microsoft's ClearType tool on the web (google "ClearType").

For a good 17" monitor, the new Samsung LCDs work great. But since most 17" monitors are 1280x1024 natively, you might find that unless you have really good vision the screen may be a bit small for your taste.
