And prob. get it for $88.
Anyone looking to change up from crt couldn`t go wrong for the price.

People are still buying 16" monitors with 8ms response times?

Definitely have a good look around - you can get a lot better bargains than that. A cursory search finds a 19" Widescreen LCD (DVI/VGA) with a 5ms response time and 3 year warranty for $188. I'm certain that there are even better deals than this floating around.

That monitor would be a downgrade from my Samsung 950P+. My old CRT has a few more good years left in it

my Samsung 24" is full HD, takes VGA, DVI and HDMI with an adaptor. To go S-Video, you can just grab a cheap converter (around 50 bucks)

what you need is called a VGA Box.

bought one of these babies the other day from Castle Hill. They had a pallet load of them.
Only an inch larger than our lappy screen, and on the coffee table (temp position) its a bit on the small side, but for $98 it's a great space saver compared to the old crt.

Did you hit them up for the" pay less, pay cash" price?

Ah yeah... $95... I guess I'm not much of a bargainer.
Took it back today. It was rooted. The salesman said "cos you've thrown out the box we will have to charge you 10% to send it back to ASUS!!!"
I suggested taking the replacement screen out of the box and they can have that.... sorted.
Still that is a joke.

p.s. I usually keep boxes for a week or two for these types of probs but whatever.

Not a bad screen but it's just something to tide us over.

Dunno much about the Asus brand, I`ve always had LG monitors and been happy with them, just lucky I spose.
BUT the LG dvd/vcr player was declared unfixable a couple of months out of warranty, just unlucky I spose.
Hope I get a better run with the new tv. {NEC} :huh:
