FS: 17" Apple Studio Display (LCD ADC) - $300 bargain

RumoredTone · Jan 8, 2005, 10:42 PM

Hello,

I'd like to sell my Studio Display (revision 'B' with the mirror-style logo).

This unit has a minor defect so please read carefully:

There's a small "dark spot" on the LCD screen (pictured below) - it's only visible over pure solid blue, and is essentially invisible under all other circumstances. In fact, I never even knew it was there until I recently tried a screen tester that displays pure colors over the screen. Under red, green, white, black, and normal use, the spot isn't noticeable - only under pure blue.

All in all, it's a fairly minor issue, but as a graphic designer I'm a bit of a visual perfectionist, so I've decided to sell this monitor (an excuse to upgrade to something bigger!

).

So for people who aren't obsessive like me, this could be a very nice deal to get an otherwise beautiful Apple flat panel on your desk (for under half the price of a new one). It would ship in the original box. $300 + shipping.

Thanks,
-Tone

sounds like a good deal to me, if only it wasn't $99 for the DVI to ADC adapter, I would snatch it up quick. I'm sure you'll sell it no problem.

I just looked it up and the DVI to ADC take 3-4 weeks to ship from apple!! But, on the positive side, it is free shipping.

I am very interested in this. I would like to see some more pictures of the entire monitor. Do you accept Paypal? Also what kind of feedback do you have? Ebay, etc... PM me or email me (umgolfer@gmail.com) to continue talking about this.
