The real cost in LCD monitors (apart from paying for the name anyway) is the cost of the screen itself. Besides the, the overall quality of LCD monitors has improved immensely even over the last 12mths, so even working you wouldn't get much for them.\n\nIf you are looking to replace, have a look at the BenQ screens - they've been building LCD monitors longer than almost anyone else, and thus their quality is damned good - and their prices are lower than anything else of the same quality. I know that doesn't help you with your old monitors, but it should at least than should give you an improved run this time around.
