Looking for something capable of 1600x1200 or better 17" or bigger.

I'd really like to find one of the old dell 17" that they used to have in the computer labs b/c I already have one of those and it would be nice to have a matching set...

OR 2 sun 21" beasts that are floating around from the surplus...

but I'll take anything 17"+ with a good resolution...

(btw when is the next surplus sale?)

yeah I found the website, but back in the day (like 4 years ago) they only held it like onces or twice a month... so I was wondering if it had in fact changed to EVERY friday

I've got a Dell 17" I'm giving away, I think it only does 1280x1024 tho. Picture of it is here:

I have a Dell (Trinitron) 19" flat screen CRT (not flat "panel") P991 monitor I am selling on Craigslist for $25 if you are interested. It is in great shape and has an excellent picture.

I second checking out the surplus this Friday. That's where I got two 21" Sun's for $1 each. Make sure you get there early...I mean, like 7:30 at the latest. All the old guys get there at the asscrack of dawn and run in like a bunch of rabid starving animals to get at this stuff - it's really sad to watch, but you have to be quick if you want any of the good stuff.

It's open for viewing on Thursday, so you may want to go and find what you want, then hide it or remember where it is, so that you can beat the rabid geeky old guys to it.

^^ I've got an 8am t-th so I can only make the tail end of the preview... but I KNOW I'll be there friday at the butt crack of dawn to try to get 2 21"s...

I can't deal with 1600x1200@60Hz... and I'm having serious difficulties working with 1280x1024... but I'm dealing with what I have...

^unfortunately $20 is what I eat on for a week... so while in the terms of that monitor it is "really cheap" by my definition it's outside of "really cheap"... thanks for letting me know though.

Highest preset resolution 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz
Highest addressable resolution* 1920 x 1200 at 75 Hz

if you change your mind.
