Hello, all.

I want a big display for my MacBook Pro.

It needs to be 1920x1200 (Widescreen is a must)

Bigger than 20"

Have at least one USB port (more is preferable)

Be in like new condition, at least on the front and sides. Back can be a bit scuffed, I guess.

Got anything that matches all or some of the criteria? PM me with an asking price. Thanks.

Thats probably about the best deal you could get, $340 after rebate, free shipping, and Viewsonic makes awesome LCDs, the Dell 2408wfp is the best out there, but its at least $600 on sale normally I think its about $700, so i'd go with this if youre looking for a cheap one, it'll probably be better than used and its got a 1 year warranty too!

i also second monitors from newegg, i've had really good luck, and was able to RMA the couple that needed swapped with no problems.

as an alternative, a 24" HP monitor HERE (http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/4488401/vpcsid/0/SFV/31197) from a company i've done lots of business with and could recommend. seems like a good deal if you like shiny screens... ouch my eyes!:eek:

You want to be leery about TN panels.. there's a reason they're so cheap (viewing angles, color reproduction, unable to produce the full 16.7 mil colors, etc etc). The dells are PVA which are much higher quality. Of course it all goes back to what you're using it for..

Oh, and the dells have 3 year warranties.. so even a used one may come with more than 1 year of warranty left.

I've got an LG246WP 24in LCD that I picked up late last year. Its absolutely amazing and in great condition. I'm not sure if I'm going to be getting rid of it right away as I have to get rid of my PC first. I have a deal pending for the PC so I'll get back to you I guess. Just giving you a heads up in case you don't find one right away.

How much would you be asking for the LG?
