Computer monitor - where's a good place to buy?

Tacoma Dude · 07-27-2005, 12:07 PM

After I don't know how many years of service, my computer monitor is on it's way out. It's been randomly flicking off for the last week or so.

I need a new monitor but definitely do not have a large budget. I don't care about flat screen, etc. I just need something reliable to look at when I'm using my computer. It can be as slim or as blocky and fat as necessary with a minimum 17" screen.

Anyone know of a good place to get one?

Sarah got a nice 19" flat screen at Costco for $279 I think.

I've ordered quite a bit of stuff from www.newegg.com

That's a pretty good price - I've been checking out some of Costco prices and they look decent. I'm wondering if there's anything better out there...

Find a monitor you like, then type it into Froogle. I also use newegg and buy.com.

Tacoma Dude · 07-27-2005, 02:22 PM

Man, there's so much stuff to look into. Honestly, all I need is a monitor with color that works.

Thanks guys.

Churnd · 07-27-2005, 02:25 PM

Yeah, but you want one with a good warranty and that won't crap out on you within the first couple of months of having it.

I'm picking up a 19" Acer LCD for just under $250

Thanks for the link, Matt!

I got my Acer delivered to me yesterday. Part of the mount was broken (looks like shipping damage) but the monitor is perfect with no defective pixels.
