Small Flat Screen Monitors

    In a world where everyone want's larger :D I'm looking for a source for two 15" or smaller (Preferably) TFT flat screen monitors for a particular project.

    New preferably but would consider secondhand if had to.

    Found two sources for exactly the same 15" monitor (unbranded) one site is claiming that they are all refurbished & the other that they are all new????

    As they seem to be rare now I'd be a little skeptical as to them being new?

    Anyone know of a source?

    I've already been there & only saw one 15" monitor there?

    I need two & they must be the same. And if at all possible, black.

    Thanks ricman but I've tried those too ;)

    I wouldn't normally post for something like this if I hadn't tried the run of the mill methods of tracking them down myself first.

    These are not easily got now it would seem?

    Probably all in the attic like the drawers in many homes which contain 20 unused mobile phones :D

    electronic recycling sell working pcs and lcd monitors to the public or other business,s ,as they recieve stuff from firms thats working ok, replaced by faster pcs.
    i think they also fix old pcs and give em to charitys etc
    you can just go there and buy a single monitor or pc for 50e as a private individual.They get stuff from company a and sell it to other companys or give it to schools.Or sell it to individuals.

    Products isn't the only place to search and second you'd have to. You pay more if a product isn't produced any more or produced in very small quantities. The standard now is 19" or the odd 17".
