goshdarnit.

my monitor just died.

it's my 5:4 monitor too, the one I use for web browsing.

I've got another I can use in the meanwhile but it's a small crappy thing :(

@nautilee Do you need a 5:4 monitor for some reason? We can try to help find you a replacement.

@Rosemary

I'm pretty particular, yeah. 4:3 or 5:4 monitor for web browsing and older games (I prefer the more square aspect ratio) and then a widescreen for games

@nautilee Just a brief look on Newegg and I found this refurbished Dell monitor, 1280x1024 resolution, for $40. Considering that's half the price we paid for our monitor, and we got ours extremely cheap, that might be worth looking into. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAJ25UA8936

@Rosemary

that's almost exactly the model I have right now... er, the one that failed on me. And that had its power button break only a month or two after I got it, to never work again (at least it failed in the On position)

it's 40 bucks I don't have right now, anyway

@nautilee https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100160979%20600012947%20600012949 This is the search I used to find it, by the way.

Hrm, how urgently do you need the monitor? Are you able to use your widescreen one comfortably enough, or is it significantly harder?

@Rosemary

it's *really frustrating*, kinda makes me feel half blinded.

but I'll survive
