The reason I ask is because I'm "borrowing" my parents old 17-inch Samsung. It's about 5 years old, but has been the best monitor I have ever used. They need it back because my younger brother inheritied the Compaq that it was purchased with, so I have to return it.
I have a 15-inch el-cheapo- CTX monitor that was used by the local high school, sold (or thrown out), repaired by a resident, and sold at a garage sale for $20. Good deal. It's been a nice monitor, but it's old and small, and has too much of a beige tint to it. Its good for a folding rig, but definately not a gaming monitor.
I just found out that the deductible for the wreck I was in is only $250 (compared to $500 which I thought it was), so I consider that a blessing! I now have $250 that I thought I wouldnt have.
Anyway- what would you choose. And should I pay the $$$ for the stupid BB warranty ($50 i think)?
