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_6.4-1...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?
Some examples from ebay.co.uk of job lots for monitors :)

TigerDirect.com Has a few LCD monitors between $100-$150.

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.
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.Quote:
