[FRIAM] Computer Monitors now?

[Marcus Daniels]

I got a Dell S3220DGF that was on sale a while back and I think was a good value.
A better value than my Samsung Odyssey 9 which is still the best!

Best Buy,  Wall in back of the computer sales desk, to your right as you come in the front door.   See them in action.  There's often a sale.
Viewsonic is still good.  There are some small TVs that can be monitors.    Make sure your computer can drive the thing.   Just because the connectors fit doesn't mean the cable is compatible.  There's HDMI and then there's HDMI.

lol this is Murphy's law or something? I have a ridiculously old Dell 15-20 inch computer monitor. It's stupidly old and just about falling apart. I need to replace it because it's got a crack. The crack has been there since I got it years ago., it started as a small dink in the monitor. I'd guess from shipping. this Monday it turned it's growing. And turning into the grand canyon. It's created a zone of dead pixels or however LCDs work.
Either way, now in the market for a Frugal AF monitor. Reviews for budget monitors say Viewsonic. (I didn't know they were still in business).It doesn't need to be a "gamer monitor" with 200pica-second refresh rates or anything. I only ask that it just fucking work. The GPU I have does HDMI.

Sigh. Fuck.
Where do I look for cheep AF, but won't fall apart instantly monitors? Googling lead me to Wally World. I am beyond lost for what to look for, and genuinely don't know what in 2021 is considered Budget or sanely priced.
