Computer monitor

[Bobby821]

Does anyone know where to purchase a good cheap flat screen computer monitor?

Thanks

I'd refer you to amazon, what size are you looking for?

What size? What are you using for? What computer specs do you have?

You can try pawn shops too

Most any monitor is "cheap", comparatively, these days. And most of them are made by the same couple of actual screen manufacturers, but just have a different plastic cover on them. It's really hard to go bad with one to be honest. Even the cheap-o's really aren't that different for 95% of the population. If you're going to be a gamer, that's one thing. If you're going to play around on the internet/facebook, etc. you can really just grab whatever you want.

How old? What kind of connection are you using for the image? VGA, DVI, HDMI? A lot of newer monitors don't have VGA but there are DVI to VGA adaptors out there, be sure you have the right connections, if it is HDMI most monitors won't include that cable. You can get a good one cheep at Newegg as well. My process when buying parts that I don't care what brand they are is to read reviews on Newegg / Amazon first and then searching for the best deal for that model. 99% of the time I am buying at one of those outlets though.
