People junked most of the older small low res slow

working (bad caps) non widescreen LCD monitors by now. I kept one I
got free and fixed ages ago for bench testing (has just a VGA
connection) since it is easy to move around. Newer gaming video cards
don't even have VGA out anymore so the older VGA connector monitors
are of no use. Could also be instead of offering them for sale or
free people just straight up recycle them because of low demand for
working ones. On a recycling forum I read people were trying to sell
working older units for $10 each with no luck. The last 2 LCD
monitors I purchased new were $100 (Both DELLs a 23" IPS 1080P and a
24" 1080P) so pricing is not a problem like it used to be in the 90's
were a 17" quality monitor was $800.
I'm still a fan of 4:3 aspect monitors. At least they can get
1200x1600. Most commodity consumer monitors can only do 1080
vertically. I don't think I'm ready to spring for a 4K unit yet.
