I'm in the market for a used, ahem, pre-owned LCD Monitor to pair with
my 7 year old Dimension 4600.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sys.pc-clone.dell/browse_thread/thread/e1377c8b61754dc5?hl=en#

Looking on CraigsList and ebay, there's a lot of them out there. Any
suggestions on model number? Any models I should avoid? Anybody have
one for sale?

why bother they are cheap as chips new and you might get a 3 year warranty
thrown in.

When you see one for sale, google the make and model number and see if
any owners are pisswd.

IMO, unless you are into high-performance gaming, advanced graphics or
watching HDTV, one flat screen is as good as another.

even dell has a 20" wide perspective on sale for under $100, so why
bother with used. new are so much brighter and faster than old. and
craigslisters are so completely hit or miss that you can easily end up
wasting your time with the many flakes on there. if you do go used stay
away from the dell e172 and e173 (and the benq 17" as well) as they all
sooner or later go black (a very common problem that costs more in labor
to fix than the monitor is worth new - but only $5 to fix if you have
soldering skills and value your time at $0 - look on youtube to how to
fix them).

Yeah, I'm handy with a soldering iron. Thanks for the tip.
