Mrs Lakelord has just trashed the monitor on her computer and is after a replacement. I was thinking that with all the economic downturn I'm reading about, there must be a few businesses out there that have gone belly up and will be knocking out office equipment?
Doesn't have to be all singing and dancing, 17" or 19" ideally, flat screen - obviously.
Anyone know any contacts?

Cheers Ben thumbup
Let me know if you can find it and if happy to part with it, for how much?
You don't happen to have a 50" High Def Plasma kicking around as well do you? hehe

I've got an LG 19" LCD monitor up for sale, silver in colour, totally mint and no dead pixels. Model number is L1915S.

Its been a fantastic monitor, only selling cause i've upgraded to a 24" widescreen.

After £50 for it although it would need to be collected from Chalfont St Giles.

Dont know if that helps but its there if need be!!

I've got quite a nice 17" Acer monitor which has been hardly used. Only drawback is that it's not widesceen!

Surely for most things nobody cares if it's widescreen or not, or is that just me...

Will take a look tonight and post a pic or two smile

You may have the kernel of an idea there Pete. Mrs G T 3 fills out the property pass, I sign it and Roberts your mothers brother! Not sure I want to get the tin-tac during these uncertain times though.
OT, when are the TL boys next in session? Will be coming to LM this year and have a few questions for you?
