Where are the cheap little lcd's?

[Blorton]

I'm looking for a cheap 15" or smaller lcd for additional systems and/or secondaries on the main system. Yet all the sales and focus seems to be on 17's and larger.

Is it possible to get a decently thin and cheap 15 anymore without resorting to fleabay? Anyone know of a good source for these?

Thanks,
Blorton

15" - $150 though.

Or a 8.4" 800x600 - http://www.visiontouch.com/3.5_6.4-10.4_LCD/8_4_svga_lcd/8_4_svga_lcd.htm as an example - you can usually find those for $150 or so on ebay.

Ebay stores is often a great place for things harder to find elsewhere, at least on the .co.uk site. They still offer a 1year guarantee and you can pick up some bargains, have seen recently a job lot of 12 LCD screens (10 15" and 2 17") go for around £100 +postage (that's around $200) they didn't have stands, but had power supplies, and if you're going with ergotron stands, then you don't need the individual stands.

Thanks for the links, did I mention I also wanted them to be under $100? :D

Thanks again.....

Good luck :) Might try to find a lot somewhere.

My 17" LCDs used to cost $700 EACH - sub $100 is not quite there yet unless you can find some surplus units. Perhaps check a local surplus sale?

Just got 4 of these for my setup. Pretty nice. Also I ordered this at 10PM from CA, and I live in PA they were here by lunch time. Shipping was free.

Yeah, I remember my first Dell lcd was around $900:(

If you're going to spend $150 per monitor, why not spend $20 more and get 20" monitors with 1680x1050. Or check around for a local computer fair, you'll no doubt find lcd's for $100 or so. Buyer beware though.

[Bradster]

why not spend $20 more and get

For this project I could say that exact line for about everything I purchased, and I mean everything. Problem is since in my project I need 4 of everything for my 5 box setup. That turns in to $100.

For $20 I could get this CPU
For only $20 more I could get this case.
Motherboard, memory, cooler fan, etc.
Everything

Now if it was just one item, i am on the same page as you :)

Plus i'm cheap :lol:

Well, $20 for a fairly big monitor upgrade(from 15" or 17" to 20" and better res) is well worth it. After all, you'll be looking at those screens often. My son has a cheap 15" lcd, and I cringe when I have to go in his room and read stuff on it. I understand money is tight, but if you had to spend more in one area, I'd put it toward the monitors.

Check out this week's sales at Bestbuy. 17" $129, 19" 1440x900 $139.
