Alternative LCD for Xbox Laptop

I have started planning my build of an xbox 360 laptop but have realised due to me living in new zealand a gateway 1775w lcd screen is not very accessible for me.

I'm wondering if there is anyother screen i can use and still make the same size and same quality as the gateway 1775w?

Or if you could find me a reasonably priced 1775w?

Cheers Tomas

the ultimate goal is to find a monitor whose native resolution is 1280 x 720, which creates a perfect 720P HD output, without stretching the video onscreen. for example, if the native resolution of a monitor was 1280 x 760, the picture from the xbox would have to be stretched to fit the resolution. Ben uses a 17 inch, which are increasingly difficult to find. On my 360 laptop im using a 19" that has a native resolution of 1440 x 900, and the stretching is noticeable in certain places. However, the stretching doesn't ruin it. the closest i could find for you are 18.5" monitors with a native resolution of 1366 x 768, which should be good enough that you wont notice too much:
