Any LCD monitor for ~50 or lower?

[roffles92]

I've looked everywhere. Ebay, Newegg, Amazon, etc. Maybe i'm just not browsing correctly.

I'm looking for any standard, yet reliable, LCD monitor that's ~19" widescreen preferrably but not a must. Idc if it's used as long as it's working. It doesn't need to be a phenomenal monitor either, it could just be a standard one that has a refresh rate of like 60-75hz. Can anyone help me out? It can be used, refurbished, new, anything!! as long as it's not a p.o.s...

Am I better off looking else where for a 50 dollar monitor like a CRT?

I play games like Counter-Strike...and planning on playing BF3 on my new gaming rig, except i did not budget too well and now am very tight on money for a monitor.

$50 is a little low.

This is the lowest I could find:

Though expect a few broken pixels and missing cables.

wow what a steal. if i were to buy this and it came with no accessories, would i be able to use the VGA, DVI, power cable from any other LCD monitor or is each monitor specific with its cables?

Try ebay or Craigslist for a used monitor.

Try gumtree as well. Sometimes people give out free screen or for cheap.

Also ask your friends (if you have a group of computer enthusiast friend).

if i were to buy a monitor with no cables, are all DVI, VGA, power cables the same for every monitor?

In general they are the same.

Occasionally you'll run into something odd, like a monitor with an external power supply. The most confusing is DVI because there are many types: DVI-D (digital), DVI-A (analog), and DVI-I (with is both). Also they come in single and dual link.

That said, most DVI cables are dual link DVI-I which work with anything.
