It's come the time that I have to bite the bullet and get a higher resolution monitor for multi tabling, but before I sit here for hours searching the net for a good deal, does anyone know of an existing bargain?

Any info greatly appreciated!

eBay  :D

lol, did you try ebuyer. At that hi res though anything will be expensive.

Best i can do hunny is the Dell 24 inch widescreen TFT for £488, possibly cheaper if you want 2.

I've got a couple that are broken, if you know how to fix them you can have em

Not sure if they are fixable, they received wireless mouse to the screen, the screen isn't cracked but the screen is all funny colors when its turned on, so I guess its some luquid issue or w/e. I guess they are completely unsavable, but haven't got round to throwing them away

Anyways, saving that www.ebuyer.com is a pretty good place, ebay is ok as well if you trust those scabs to actually ship what they are advertising.

some more info

Been to all the usual places first for a quick look, lowest so far was around £300 (if I remember rightly)I don't want to go too cheap and risk quality, but can't afford a top of the range model either (otherwise I would buy a looooovely Sony that I've seen :D )

Nem, James suggested eBay but tbh with something like a monitor I'm a little nervy about it.

I bought a Dell monitor off of ebay - which would be prefect for you. It was only a year ago, I'll see if he is selling anymore.

Sounds like the newer version of James' (and that is gorgeous) but I can't really justify £500 with Xmas looming. Although ideally this is what I would like Santa to bring lol.

Totalise, can monitors be fixed? anyone have any idea?

I think you should just forget the money and get one of these

 :kiv:   Verrrrrrrrry nice!

Hey for 500 quid you could get the top one here. One day i will, i keep telling myself.

Jane,

I've heard Flushy has been cleaning up - you should ask him to buy you this monitor

http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/2006/08/28/radius_320_moni.html

only $14,999 :o

WOW!!! Do you think I can twist his arm enough??...... hmmmm, for that price I'd rather he gave me a car lol

Jane, do you already have an lcd monitor. How big is it. it may be cheaper to get a 17" and buy a graphics card that allow you to link the two i.e. a makeshift multi screen display.

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/104512/rb/21522316045

Yes, I already have a 17" LCD and both that and the graphics card (NIVDIA GeForce FX 5200) are around 18 months old. It unfortunately doesn't support a 1600 x 1200 res  :(

You can pick up another 17" monitor for less than 120 quid (i.e. mid range-ish) and i'm looking at the graphics cards. At the mo i've got one that links up to both my tv and monitor. You can either clone the screen (i.e. same thing on both screens) or use it in a mulitscreen format.

I know you can pick up graphics cards with both the tv out and the monitor out for 20 quid but i'm not sure they would support two hi res monitors (a tv is only 640x480).

Ok, this is about what you want but it is 75 quid and more than i would have expected to pay (it's probably too good for what you want).

If look in the images you get a close up of the back and you can see there are two female ports (and an s-video one). By the side of these ports you can see it says DVI (i.e. digital). On some cards you will have one DVI port and one CRT port (i.e. one analogue and one digital) this isn't what you want unless you are rigging it up to your tv.

So for 200 quid you can another monitor but have a look around and see if you can find a cheaper graphics card.

Surely it's not a case of spending £500, it's investing £500 :D

Thanks SupaMonkey, I'll have to have a think about which way I want to go, dual monitor or an upgrade.



Actually I agree with you, without investing in the monitor whether it be upgrading or going dual, it limits the earning potential. I'm missing too much information to effectively multi-table at present.

Thats the one for you, Ginger/Sark

we buy all of our TFT monitors from www.savastore.com. I usually buy 17" TFT monitors for under £100. You may be able to pick up a decent size monitor for less than £200

Possibly a 'step back' technology-wise, but if you actually want bargain basement 1600x1200, I bought myself a 19" CRT monitor for £10 on ebay; also bought Jen a 21" for £20.  Both do 1600x1200 and are in excellent condition. The only thing is, they are very heavy and you do need a deep desk.

Thanks MrsLime, I did think about making do with with James' old monitor (like as you described above) Although my desk is deep enough it is however glass! Can just imagine the "D'oh" moment, as it would go crashing through to the floor lol.

I think I will go with the one that Sheriff posted the link to, I missed this auction but there is bound to be some more coming again soon.

Its £309 buy it now 5 available?

Yes. A good price.

There was 5 left available when the auction ended, at 1:28 am lol. If I had realised there was such a short amount of time left I would have snapped one up, hopefully he will get them re-listed soon.


EDIT: Just checked and he re-listed this morning  :D

Just one thing to be aware of Ginger, they most likely will come with a US plug.  Adapters are easy to find and there's no issues with voltage as there's a transformer box between the plug and the monitor.

I've got two of these (well the old 2001FPs) side by side, one sourced from the US, one from the UK.  Both work fine and the US one was a helluva lot cheaper!

Sheriff

Try this one if you haven't found one, looks like the Rolls Royce of monitors for a PC

I bought my 2001FP from that same guy on ebay maybe 2 years ago now, mine does have US style plug but he sent adapter with it and I have had 0 problems.

2007's direct from Dell £299 special offer atm.

I've ordered one from eBay, the new 2007FP  :D  The ones directly from Dell for £299 are the widescreen version (unless the offer has change from 11pm last night)  which doesn't have 1600 x 1200 res. Still, I'm very happy with £309!!! It does come with a US plug, but he supplies the UK one also.

yeah I'm wrong sry

How about this:

A bargain at $11,999.

You would get a few tables in at 5760x2400
