Dead LCD monitor? - replace $2 worth of caps - Re: Skipware level, late 2012

Possibly. I haven't seen any that aren't plenty usable for many of my purposes (text console on peecees, perhaps most notably). You can? Perhaps for sufficiently small values of "decent". I have found exactly _one_ flatscreen - and it's a relatively old one - which has one thing I consider essential to being "decent", namely, the ability to textbox - to display black surround instead of scaling when the video signal is smaller than the screen's native resolution. (Having the ability to scale is nice. Having no choice in the matter is not.) Furthermore, another thing I consider essential to being "decent" but which I've noticed recent flatscreens lacking is the ability to manually correct when its built-in guesses about where the frame begins and ends in the video signal are wrong. However, that's not quite so hard to find. I don't know about anyone else's case, but in my case they could pay me for every minute of my time involved and still turn a dead monitor into a working one for less than even your optimistic price for a new one. It doesn't take very long to pop the case and replace the caps. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
