yep.. well, i tried to sell mine for a quid on ebay, no buyers!

I'm not surprised at all. I threw a working 19" crt onto the street pickup a few weeks ago lol. LCD is king now.

For example umart doesn't even stock 15" lcd monitors most people are buying at least 20" aseef you would pickup a 2nd hand crt when LCD is so cheap

Though i still love my 17" crt

yeah well maybe next time try selling it for money, more people have that

oh yeh more advice here too i love giving advice since im such a helpful mother f***er oh yeh and don't forget to have paypal more people have that nowadays oh yeah you should include free shipping too that will guarantee a sale!!

/sarcasm

Got one sitting here entirely for that purpose...

sony 19" represent

Mine flickers for a bit when it turns on but it's still going strong after six years of daily use. Word up Sony

i put my 19" crt out in the street hoping someone would take it away

all they took was its power cord :(

rofl wtf/

hahaha that's hilarious spook. I for one would like a 19" monitor. At the moment I have a 15" CRT as a backup in storage in case something happens to my LCD and I need to use the computer before I can make it to the shops, but then again I have other computers around the house I could use (not to mention a laptop). We are such yuppies these days.

they charge you $15 here for each monitor you take to the dump.

I just take mine to sydney for council pickup days.

you drive to Sydney to save $15?

I wonder how many he has for a drive to Sydney from Canberra to be economical @ 15 / monitor ...

i put my old CRTs in the wheelie bin
I rang the council like 10 years ago and they said it was ok

Give it to me. They are great in arcade cabinets :D

I still got my 19" CRT. I don't mind them. I wouldn't buy one now though.

5 monitors all up. family took them back with them after objecting to having to pay the money when they get picked up for free in sydney.

same with old computers, you pay $15 per box to dump it.

why is it free in sydney?

why is it free in sydney?

Because Sydney is a real city?

you fail.

Anyone on the Gold Coast with old monitors(17inch+) or other comp parts they want to throw out I will glagly pick up.
PM me for details.

Oh, must be working.

in sydney each suburb has a council pickup day every few months. Everyone puts all sorts of s*** on the street then the council comes along and picks it up for free. It makes sydney look even more some 3rd world povo s*** hole with old fridges, couches and broken TVs in huge piles all along the side of the street.

i hate it in brisbane when they have the povinscab putouts

makes brisbane look like a giant tip

I used a 15inch for like the first 4 or 5 years i had a computer, only recently upgraded to a 22inch widescreen lcd and im like, f*** why didnt i do this earlier

cause you're cheap?

No cos his mum is cheap Durrrrrrr

why can't you just use an LCD in an arcade cabinet?

You can't have an LCD screen sitting at an angle because all the color stuff runs outta the crystals and the screen looks like one big messy rainbow.

I would use a crt in an arcade machine if i wanted a lo quality piece of s*** arcade machine.
