NewNiceMrMe Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 My wife has just given me the all clear to replace my 17" CTX monitor with a snazzy 19" unit I've had my eyes on. The CTX 17" unit has been used for about 18 months. It's in good condition and works perfectly. Here's a crap and badly taken picture of it that I've just snapped off my mobile! I don't think I still have the original box and the warranty has expired, but if I can find the box then I'll ship the monitor in it. As I say, it's a perfectly good monitor with a very good display and has never let me down. The change is purely because I fancied a larger screen and she's made the mistake of telling me I can buy it. I'll listen to reasonable offers but whoever gets it will have to wait 4-5 days until I've bought my new one before I ship it. Post any offers in here but please bear in mind the cost of P&P when making your offer (the offer I accept will be the offer I deem okay to include P&P with - in other words I won't surprise you by saying I'm going to add £XX for postage).

R32North Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Much was it new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hmm, I think it was about £230 but that was 18 months ago and the prices have dropped a lot since then of course. It wasn't the cheapest by a long way, I know that, but nor was it the most expensive either. I know it's worth a good deal less than half that now, with the price drops that the TFT market has seen, so any offers will be listened to (listened to that is, not necessarily accepted... ).

MOSE Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 You not tempted by one of the larger widescreen TFTs Chris?? I'm toying ith it at the moment, to hang on the wall in front of me, but waiting till they drop in price a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I am, but it's not really justified. It'll be sat on a shelf of the desk and not hanging on the wall. I just want something of the same quality but slightly bigger screen size for the odd occasion when I watch DVD's on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynuts Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Just bought a 17" one about 2 days before you stuck it on here, for £146 delivered. That means all 3 computers now have a tft screen. I don't know anyone else who needs one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Well I think an acceptable offer on this would be IRO £85 delivered bearing in mind it's 18 months old? The screen needs a good clean because my 3 year old has just put her grubby finger marks all over it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I don't know if it is to be honest, I've never looked. Just took it straight out of the box, set it up and it's never moved since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustynuts Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Mulkbear is looking for a monitor (and a computer). I pointed him in this direction, but you might want to give him a PM, see if he wants it. Maybe he could collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
