I'm SCREWED! (please help!)

Yeah, $35 seems like the right price for me

what did you look up, monitor repair or something?

I have bought a few refurb monitors online. Some of them I had to send back but I made sure they would take the monitor back if something was wrong with it without charging me shipping or restocking fees. Right now I have a 19inch Philips I have had for over 3 years that I got from ubid for a great price. Also Bought a 21 inch Dell that I found on ebay for 180 bucks total! They both have worked flawlessly so far. The Dell I bought was from techsmartauctions (user id) off ebay, I just found one of their auctions here. The first Dell they sent had a small scratch on screen but they gladly took it back with no shipping charges and sent me another one. If you do get a refurb make sure they will take it back without charging you anything if something is wrong. Only bad thing about refurbs is most don't come with any warranties so if it stops working your out of luck.

I just bought a NEC FP921SB. Fcking flawless. I just ran adobe gamma on it, and on superbright1 mode with some tweaking, it matches my photo output perfectly. Blacks are pure black, whites are pure white. And at 1920x1440, I get 70 Hz (stupid drivers don't allow 73 Hz like it's specc'd for), and nary a flicker.

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a kickass monitor under $300.

How much can you get a NEC FP921SB for? How's the refresh rate at 1600x1200?

Refurbs are up my ally as well, but I'm weary of them breaking in a year or less
