Title: 21" VGA Monitors in DFW.
Post by: Malachai on October 22, 2003, 01:53:54 pm

This is for all of you DFW guys.  Electronic Discount Sales in Arlington has 21" VGA monitors on sale for $99.  I have no idea what kind they are.  I didn't get a chance to take a look, but I thought some of you may be interested.

That's pretty cool... they used to have a few there for about $140... Unfortunately I'm a bit strapped & have to put my project needs on hold... Otherwise I'd probably be looking into picking one up...

For everyone else there...

It appears to be an old 20" SUN monitor with an SVGA cable on it...
$105 shipped...

I haven't bought from these guys, but they have a good feedback rating & lots of other monitors...

If you look at their bad feedback... many seem to be from their sun oem monitors.

blurry, proprietary interface, beware, monitor pops...  

I would worry myself.

They say they'll replace a defective monitor...
I'd assume that would include a blurry picture, but I'd email them to make sure before bidding...

& the proprietary interface is OEM SUN...
which just so happened to be stated in the auction. That was a buyer's mistake for not knowing what they were buying...

Eh... It was just a seller I'd been watching & 95% of the monitors leaving their hands
seem to be good... Eh... To each his own.
