Looking for an LCD

Churnd · 08-26-2005, 12:29 PM

I figured this board would be the best place to ask for info on buying something.

So, as you've probably already guessed, I'm looking for a LCD monitor... cheap as possible. I don't want to spend any more than $200. I have no problem buying stuff that's a few years old... as long as it's new or slightly used. I've found a few on eBay, but they get you with their low advertised prices and really high shipping.

I really like the Dell UltraSharp monitors. I found a few for like $180 on eBay, but again, shipping was $70. Anybody got any links for some good deals?

Often Dell will give you free shipping on items if you ask for it.
The Ultrasharp line is indeed very good.

For the price you are wanting though, do not expect to get any bigger than a 17" model.

I would spend a little more and go with at least 19" which is about the same as a 20 to 21" CRT.

I really dig my Dell Ultrasharp 2005 FPW.
Another...

Even if you had to spend double what you mentioned, it is still good.
Back in '97 or so I paid close to $600 for my iiyama 19" CRT on the left.

I'm probably going with a 17 inch model. I can't justify spending more right now. When I get ready to build a new PC, I'll get a 21 incher.

I'm still looking for the best bargain though, so if you've got links, post em!

Or if you've got one you want to sell, let me know!
