there's always an element of risk involved while buying second hand monitors specially 17" and 19" monitors....
reason: generally when someone buys 17" or 19" monitor then chances are that he/she will keep that monitor for a long time coz they already offer decent view space....ok 15" is a different thing alltogether and thus 15" secondhand monitors are common....my point is that one generally sells their 17" or 19" displays only if they counter some probs. or there's any slight malfunctioning in their working which is not noticeable in the frst place....or maybe someother reason so thats why there's a bit of risk....having said that i'm not saying that u shud not look to second hand market but my suggestion is to avoid it as far as possible....

hi ter,
which 17"monitor is the best performance wise now a days...is it good to nvest in 2nd hand monitors...
performance wise samsung 793 MB is the best performing monitor in the market today, offers best brightness in its class....
for ur second query look above....
now coming back to foreveranuj....
so u need a 19" monitor....i've three options for you..
1. Why not to go for a 17" TFT monitor by samsung or LG....
reason: 17" TFT offers same working area(actual viewabale screen size display) in comparison to 19" CRT monitors....in simple words 17" TFT is comparable to 19" CRT in terms of viewing area...and the price difference b/w 17" TFT and 19" CRT is also negligible....both are priced in the price range of 16K-18K(excluding non-flat 19" CRTs which are cheaper)
plus u have ur usual advantages with TFTs....style, less power consumption, less space and offcourse unmatched display quality....
now for TFTs research the market....go for demos from leading manufacturers like smasung or LG or if u want value then acer or CMV or digi-view....and then decide which model best suites ur display and style needs....
2. if u dont want TFT then go for flat screen CRTs from samsung....either samsung 955DF or samsung 957MB...both offers decent performance but are slightly expensive....arnd. 18-19K
3. though i dont recommend this option....if u want cheap 19" display then go for non flat CRTs but believe me they are not worth it.....
LG Studioworks 900B, priced arnd. 12.5-13K
Benq V991....shud be 12K....
ENjoy....
