Cheapest monitor you can find...

[Synomenon]

What's the cheapest monitor you can find on Amazon.com with either DVI or HDMI input?

It has to be sold by Amazon.com or be eligible for free super saver shipping.

For really cheap monitors, have you tried looking at local thrift stores? Such as Goodwill, ARC, Salvation Army, etc.

When I was just out of college, I got a CRT for ~$10. It had some issues, and that's to be expected, but it wasn't unusable.

Also ask them about return policy; you can usually return big stuff like this within 24 hours to 7 days.

What size you looking for ? Also what resolution do you want to run ?

You can get 24" 1080p HDMI monitors for 300 dollars or less...

Size doesn't matter, but $300 is more than I have. It's just going to be for sidebar gadgets, my IM app. and outlook. I'd like something under $150 and it has to be from Amazon because I have $150 in Amazon gift certificates to spend.

the 2nd one is LED backlit

Thanks guys. That LED backlit Asus looks good. I have a LED backlit Dell next to a Dell U2410 and do like how the whites look on the LED backlit one compared to the U2410.

There's a couple of 23" monitors for $190'ish if you're willing to fork out a few extra dollars. Free shipping too.

19" is good enough for what I need it to do. I could even do with a 17", but I haven't seen any wide aspect models w/ DVI at the price point I'm looking for on Amazon.

if you end up buying the backlit Asus, post up a review here. Kinda interested in it.

Just came back from Fry's and they had that Asus. Looked pretty good. I think I'm going to go with it.

I had a widescreen gateway lcd 1280x720 monitor before with vga and dvi
