re: New monitor advice

Nobody seems to want big CRT monitors dominating their desks anymore, so consequently they can be picked up very cheaply. I bought a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 230 for £5 in 2007 at a car boot sale. The seller looked surprised when I just picked it up and walked off with it to my car 200yds away - I ended up with bruises on my forearms from the weight!

Although it looked clean with no screen burn, I quite expected it to not work and the fiver to be wasted - but I've been using it ever since, calibrating it every week or so with a ColorMunki.
