A guy is offering me this monitor for $100.  He said it needs recaped and costs around $100 to have that done professionaly.  He said it is missing the red color in the screen otherwise it fires right up.  Here is the monitor details:

27" A.L.S. 1427 model

Shape D.

I'm not really a monitor expert or anything but $100 for a used monitor that needs a cap kit seems a bit expensive.
Hey Baby, Have you ever met a Newbie with 38 pages of previous posts before? Do you Want to?

More info:  It is from a Gauntlet legends, and he stressed that it is a high resolution monitor.  Don't know if that makes a diff or not.
