Buying off Ebay was a gamble but I was fortunate to recieve an FW900 in excellent condition wich happens to have the best geometry / convergence / focus that ive witnessed on a CRT. It wont be going anywhere until it quits working

I would'nt either.. lots of risk there though.. I've been keeping up with a thread over at HardPOS for almost 6 months now and those who get perfect ones are few and far between,

$900 cdn(approx $600 US at he time), 4-6 years ago on the monitor I'm still using, a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 91. Awesome monitor, hope it lives for many more years.

The LEAST I've ever paid for good monitors however is 1 euro (USD 1.20) for ten (ten!) old, but hardly ever used 20" Trinitron CAD workstation monitors.

Staring at two of them right now

;O that's an amazing deal!

Yea but its also worth noting that most people on the hardocp forum went for the cheaper OEM HP FW900 model which IMO probably didnt have as good of quality control vs. the original retail Sony FW900 (Which is what I bought).

w00t! That's EXACTLY the one I have! And i thought that I was the only one cheap enough to buy one

 

[Jeff7181]

Is it the 76DF?

 

[evenmore1]

No, its actually the 77V...oh well

 

[StrangerGuy]

~US$140 for a Samsung 753DFX 17 inch.

 

[Rage187]

$1700 for a 37" Westinghouse 1080P LCD


worth every penny

 

[yelo333]

$100 (after rebate) for Viewsonic A71f+ a little over a year ago.

17-inch that does 1024x768 @ 89Hz

Previous monitors were trash-day finds...

Eizo CG210 [DisplayMates 2005 'Reference LCD Monitor']

2700$ US

About $2100 for a Viewsonic 21PS in 1995. That monitor still works today but I am presently using a 2405FPW which I got last year. I know it's a personal thing but I like to have a lot of screen real estate. It didn't matter much in the DOS days but with this new-fangled Windows thing it's nice to be able to spread out.

$900.00 on my acer al2416w have been extremely happy with it.

Most I've paid was $640+tax for an NEC Multisync 3D, back in 1990. It died after 10 months, but the replacement was in daily use until just over a year ago at my (former) computer repair shop. It was great in that it even had a 9 pin adaptor so it could work with CGA and monochrome video cards. AFAIK it still works, but was shelved in favor of something that will take today's standard refresh rates. Still, it's ready for that occasional old heap-o-trash that shows up which the newer monitors won't syncrhonize to.
