you could get a good (or at least OK) second hand Sony or Apple 17, 19

Hello All --
-- My son Miles has a G4 Powerbook with a 12-inch screen, and wants
to get an additional monitor (17-inch plus) for detailed graphic work
(he is a graphic artist), at a reasonable price. Any advice or
offers, please, on what he should do?
-- He has looked at a new 17-inch Samsung for $215, but can also
consider a second-hand screen, don't know if he could get a flat
screen within his price range. Are there any issues with where a
second monitor is plugged in? TIA.
Most new CRT monitors with the exception of a few Pro models are very
dodgy, I would suggest to take your powerbook and adaptor with you
while shopping and inspect whilst in the shop before handing over the
hard earned. Check if colorsync has pre built profiles for said monitor
as this will aleviate a lot of guess work.
The secondhand market place you should be able to track down some
really good quality Pro monitors which may or may not need servicing?
(re-calibrating and tweaking)
Saying that I managed to track down a Viewsonic 17" model number 17FDB
? from Discount Computers at Ross's in Maylands for $175 very
acceptable for graphic or video work screen a bit small in some
instances, but good quality image with colorsync profile.
