I have a new 19" LCD monitor! My old one died. I took it apart, found some dead capacitors, and had a repair shop replace them. Now it turns on and then blacks out after a second or two. Now I have a new (well, second-hand) one that stays on, and is much easier on my eyes than that CRT I have as backup. Plus, the price beats buying a new widescreen model. Any ideas on how to fix that old one? Any hatred for my craigslist skillz? |

Admiration for your Craiglist skillz. I may have to check there for more LCDs. I have fairly specific requirements in tems fo resolution, and DESPISE the Widescreen ratios, they don't have enough vertical distance to make a decent screen. NewEgg is the only place I've found LCD native 1600x1200, and they're moderately expensive if they have any other decent stats. ...I've considered biting the bullet anyway, and buying several, stocking up.

Yeah. I like widescreen for drafting, but games are best on a more standard screen. |
