New (Yet Old) Gameing Display.

I was looking for a good monitor for about 6 weeks before i broke down and got a Sony CRT, I was horrified to find out that the monitor I just got was useless (To Me). The screen is hazed and I will most likely "Try" to polish it but I doubt I will have any luck.

But lucky for me a local goodwill seems to horde monitors. Now I'm not talking about the goodwill you normally see, This place is a junkyard of crap. As I was walking down the isles of bins full of crap i spot-ed a large CRT, I picked it up out of bin and saw 'Trinitron" and I was speechless. What I found was a Dell P1110. Now you would think a monitor in a bin of broken crap would have a few problems. This monitor is flawless. Bright, Scratch free, Color good, And the case has vary little ware.

After seeing the bin it was In I had to test it, So I had to sneak over to the working monitor area.(Well I tried to sneak over but come on this thing was over 60 Pounds.)

When all was said and done I walked out with a Dell P1110 for $5. After using this thing I now have a hard time going back to my HP W2207h. For gaming this this is near perfect and is hard to beat.

Ill have to back tomarrow, On the way out I saw the 19" Wide Dell CRT for $10.

Pretty amazing deal lol

Unfortunately my Dell P1100 is complete trash now, its colours and contrast are completely wrong, and there are horizontal green lines running across the screen. Shame

But your one sounds great, must be a pretty record deal, a high quality CRT for $5!

Funny thing happened today, I took it to a small private LAN party and somehow somebody put scratches in the anti-glare, Unfortunately its not the peel off kind on AG. But I still would have paid 10x more then I did for it. I am now i true believer in CRT, I used to think I was an LCD guy. Now I just use mine for my PS3. Now I just need to work some polishing magic on to my mostly ruined p1130.
