Now I have a hard time letting this monitor go...

[luvya]

It's the all mighty EIZO FlexScan T761 that I am talking about. Frankly, I picked up this monitor for free, someone moved out of dorm and left it at the front door. It's an awesome CRT (does 1600X1200@92HZ), I can't believe I used to pay $300 for the Samsung 19in CRT just a few years ago. This free one is much much better, fully flat screen, short-necked...oh man, if only I use a desktop
















How much should I sell it for?

Maybe your cousin needs one.

I have two problems with that. First, I hate dealing with shipping, the monitor is too heavy and I don't have a box to accommodate it. Second, I can't test the monitor, so I dunno if it works or not. The previous owner did left a sticker on the monitor saying it's free and it works. So I take his words for...but really, i have no idea if it really works.

Uh.. you can't plug the monitor into your computer to see if it works?

More importantly, how well does it display pictures/video of said cousin?

:beer:

Ship it to me for free and I'll...pray for your soul or some such nonsense.

 

[silverpig]

Give it to me for free!

maybe his laptop doesn't have a vga out?

Just toss it off the top of a parking garage. The awesome monitor smashing action that will result will be totally worth it. And who knows, you might get lucky and hit some one with it.

You're in Seattle correct? I need to pick up a 19 inch for my girlfriend (she desperately needs one). LMK how much you want for it.

I don't have the monitor cable, and am too cheap to buy one to test it

Bizzare.

I have never seen a monitor that just has a connector for a cable in the back.

If you don't know that it works I would advise against selling it.

Really? Weird.

All the ones I've ever seen are hard wired. What's the point? It just adds another place to introduce signal quality loss..

For fastest no-hassle no shipping sale, take it to a pawn shop. You have to legally own the item you're pawning.

Hard wired cables are annoying when you have to transport them and a pain in the ass to service if damaged.

definately correct there.

 

[Squisher]

There must be some sort of place to drop this off at as a donation.

Even something on campus that would be willing to come and pick it up.

My friend had a pin break off his VGA connector, and because it wasn't hard wired he wasn't able to replace it. It wouldn't show any red anymore. Having a disconnectable cable would have been nice for him.

My Viewsonic only had a connector, and so does every LCD I've ever seen.
