I plan to purchase another Mac mini to use as a small server and am looking for a decent 15" TFT I could use to go with it.
I want a monitor that is relatively cheap (Its a server, I don't need the best image quality), but from a good, known brand. I also want it to match the Mac mini aesthetically, I don't want it to look out of place.
What are some good options?

you dont want it to "look out of place"? how many people are going to be looking at this? especially if it's just a server? if i were you, i'd just go get some cheaper monitor since you're planning for this to just be a server
just my opinion, though

Yeah, I know, but I still want it to look nice but can't justify another Cinema Display when its going to be used as a Server. It will be a server but will be located where it can be seen in an office, so it has to look nice and professional.
Some other people have said the the Benq displays match the Mac mini nicely, but I'm not sure if they make a 15". The smallest I've seen (I believe) was a 17".
Why not run it headless? VLC into it when you need to.
It's the cheapest option

I already run a headless Xserve (SSH and Apple Remote Desktop), but this will have a different purpose and needs a screen.
