Can anyone take a look at this monitor for me and tell me whether or not you think it's worth it? I emailed the guy and he hasn't emailed me back but I wanna make sure 100% before I waste 10-15 minutes driving to Antelope to pick it up.

Assuming it's fully functional it would be ok as a second monitor. However I wouldn't use it as your primary monitor.

If it's a POS you just "inherited" $30 POS junk. Just becareful that it's not a lemon.

Well, I emailed the guy, he said he used it mainly at work for Photoshop and Illustrator, and then when he brought it home he played HL on it. I'm sure it's used but I'm sure I can get 30 bucks out of it. Anything is better than this 15" monitor I'm on right now.

Btw, there were a couple of pricks in vent earlier.

Looks moderately old, don't see any name brand, I wouldn't bother.

 

[RossMAN]

If you're using a 15" now, hell yes I'd buy it.

Leave now.

Get to the fartcopter! 😛

try to lowball him since he wants it gone in a hurry... $20?

 

[RossMAN]

Don't lowball him on the phone (that sounds wrong doesn't it?).

Meet him and have a $20 and $10 in your pockets. Offer him $20 cash, if he doesn't take it then give him $30.

When you bring it home I hope it works.

Model? Resolution? Specs?

 

[aplefka]

Didn't bother lowballing him. Looked like a guy who was fresh out of college or somewhere around there. That and he could've kicked my ass.

I'm gonna hook it up right now. He booted up real fast on it and it looked really good as far as brightness and everything.

Btw Ross, who used the FartCopter last? It was low on gas! You bastages have to refill it when you're done!

19" CRT for $30 is a bargain, congratulations 🙂

Nik used the fartcopter last night, yeah blame it on him 🙂

 

[aplefka]

Okay, well I've got it running at 1024x768 @ 60Hz... I may bump it up to the next setting, but I had it on 85Hz from before and it was shaking at both 85 and 70.
