Windows 7 x64 Home Edition Sioux Lookout, Ontario |
New Monitor
Hello,
I need some help here, I have no idea where to start to look, I don't really want to go out and throw my money around on something that is truly not worth what I am spending,
I am looking for a LCD monitor at least 21" or more, I don't have a specific brand but I am looking for something I am going to get a bang from my buck.
My budget I want to keep it under $200 CND, I know it might be hard to work with but I have little to spend.
Thanks.
