Title: Anyone used these 20" LCD Monitors?
Post by: lint on February 14, 2008, 06:33:57 pm

These seem perfect to replace my bulky 21" CRT. I was wondering if anyone had any info on them good or bad.

looks like a good deal - I'll ask seller whether he has any info on response time as this may work better than the crappy 20" CRT TV I was planning to hook up via composite (ugh).  $150 including shipping is awesome given how hard it's becoming to find 4:3 20" LCD's.  Most I've seen are closer to $200...  Granted the ones in that ad are used...

He had no info on model/make/response time/etc.  Claimed no dead pixels.  Option to wire 12volt DC is weird but good if you wanted a mame cab in your car!

I just found this 19" 4:3 LCD with 3yr warranty for same price ($100): http://eavctech.com/product_info.php?products_id=911&language=en&cPath=4

Seems like the way I'm gonna go now that the crappy TV I was going to use has turned out to have rainbow corner (in addition to being just unbearably jittery/blurry). New 20" LCD 4:3 monitors seem to easily run $200+ so I think I'll sacrifice 1" of monitor for the price.

I ended up buying one of these from this seller. I've been moving so I'm just getting around to putting this in my cabinet. This sucker is heavy. I looks like these were made for hospitals. Did anyone else get one? If so I'm curious how you ended up mounting it.

Anyone? The back of the monitor doesn't have your typical VESA configuration.
