My lcd monitor just went out.Smoke was coming out from the top of the monitor and then it just stopped.Wouldn't turn on

I think the monitor is over so I was considering this monitor here

www.dealtime.co.uk ht_Adj_Monitor

I have a 9800Se ati radeon.I use my computer for both games and uni work!!

Do you guys think that monitor is good enough?

Its around $520 at trademe.

370767 2005-07-09 17:05:00 no need to spend that sort of money for a LCD.

www.dcsl.co.nz

that is a damn good monitor, these have been selling about 10 a week at work. they have a 3 Year Warranty, 8ms response time, and made by PolyView. And a 5 Pixel Warranty. (website says Chi Mei, but Chi Mei manufacturer's both CMV and PolyView).

i have a CMV 17" TFT, and this thing is damn sweet.

370768 2005-07-09 17:19:00 Is it worth repairing the old lcd monitor?

I think I plugged the power into the monitor without switching the main power off at the wall

Smoke started coming out from the monitor and then just switched off.

It never switched back on again

IS it worth repairing and maybe use it as a spare monitor later on in life?lol
