Hello, I am also new here i can't help you for the light but a 17" monitor is big enough and it can be a little bit too big for your overhead projector but just a little.
You must look on this list: http://ecrans.energie-libre.net/, on "recherche" if your monitor can be used.
Good luck for your project!
