[Solved] Best $70 - $80 monitor

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards [Solved] Best $70 - $80 monitor

Hi! I'm looking for the best $70 or $80 monitor I can get (as the title says). I don't have much experience with display stuff... I just want something that is no smaller than 15 inches and looks nice when gaming thanks in advance!
P.S. the Sub-category is graphics cards because none of the other options really fit it...

You're looking at a refurb or open box at that price, and very likely some dead pixels.

haha troll Craigslist all used monitors go for 50-80 bucks
ive picked up to 19" dells 50 each and a 21' Samsung for 60

be patient prices may very by location but used monitors are always resold cheap and as good as new.

Hence the $70 - $80. What makes this one clearer?

Well you said $70-$80? You showed me a $30 monitor :lol: .

In my opinion either buy new monitors that we suggested before or buy a nice refurbished or second hand monitor in YOUR BUDGET please...

It's fine, if you trust refurbished monitor.

I trust newegg and the reviews of the other refurbished things they have for sale seem to be pretty good thanks for all your help and sorry if I was being a pain (seeing as I am relitively new to computers)!
