Thought I would tell fellow builders my news....
I was driving home the other day and someone on another block had a 19" SVGA monitor sitting at the edge of their yard. A sign was placed on it that said,"FREE 19 - Computer Monitor. Works, Screen is a little dark." So I got out of the car put it in the back and took it home. Thinking that the picture may be a little dark and would still look alright in a cabinet, I began to tinker around with it. Come to find out the reason why the picture was dark was because they had the contrast turned all the way down and the brightness turned way up. I just turned the contrast up and presto a nice looking monitor with a good picture for FREE!! Why couldn't I have found this about 3 months ago when I bought my 19" monitor...hehe
