Cheap LCD's, Good, Bad?

I'm building a computer for college, and there won't be a lot of room in there, plus I'll probably spend some long hours typing reports and stuff and I don't want to burn my eyes out with an old CRT monitor. But seeing that I'm paying my way through college, I don't have any cash to throw around, at all. I was looking at a 17" LCD monitor under 270 dollars. I noticed a bunch on new egg, some with attached monitors, some without, around 225-240 bucks. It'll probably see some use with autocad and mabye watching a few movies, but it won't see any gaming at all. Heres a couple of the monitors I was looking at.

I wouldn't mind one of the ones with built in speakers, I'd like to save more room, and I don't need surround sound, but I like my music, and I don't want to be listening through some crappy little speakers on my monitor.
