The hunt is over
Well that was easy, I’ve managed to bag myself what I hope is the perfect monitor! A Compaq TFT5030 monitor: it works perfectly, has an external power supply and is the right size. It even has dual VGA and DVI inputs. The resolution is only 1024×768, but getting higher than that is near impossible for a 15″ display, unless your prepared to get a laptop screen and find an appropriate LVDS controller for it.
The best thing about the monitor is it only cost $0!!! Yep, it was free – a colleague at work had it cluttering up his office and was only too glad to be rid of it because it doesn’t have a stand – other than that it is in perfect condition. I didn’t want a stand anyway.
