I agree, unless you're trying to salvage something like a projection TV.

You can get an excellent Optiquest 19" with .21 DPI Horizontal resolution at
MultiWave for less than $170. That's an extremely good value.

I'm not sure their budget will allow even that much. That's why they believe
using the TV as the monitor will save them money. I've been able to find them a
used Pentium 2 400MHz IBM Aptiva for $120. They want to keep total costs to
about $150.


We use these on our CAD stations at my office, and they are easier on the
eye than a 21" Sony Trinitron.


Are you a drafter/designer? I'm working with a bunch of
architectural/mechanical CAD folks right now trying to help them with
professional communication training. I'm sure you use AutoCAD, do you also use
Microstation?
