musings of a crackpot hacker

Rotten luck turned good fortune

So, my 19″ monitor (you know, the one that I got 3 years ago and was a floor model at staples so I got it for about 50% off) finally died. I just sat down at the computer, there was a Fzzt, a little smell of magic smoke, and the screen went dark.

So, on to ebay!!!!

I found this (it's an ebay link, so will probably go dead in a few days). But, basically, it's a Dell 2005FPW, which is a 20.1″ widescreen, which does 1680×1050 resolution, PIP and all this other fancy stuff. Plus, it has an S-Video and Composite connections, which means, that's right, I can play video games on it, and use it for cable TV display. (I know how cool they are because we have these monitors at work). Oh, and it's $460, shipped, which is LESS than the refurbished price from TigerDirect (without shipping). W00t!
