however it has 2 sort of greyed lines... one at the near top and one at the near bottom... you can barely see it... How much do you think I paid for it...? It has VGA and DVI output... however brightiness isn't too great just fine... :beer:

How much do you think it may cost?

If the CRT is a (Sony) Triniton (r) tube, then there will be two horizontal 'grey' (really just a little wider) lines which are wires that hold all the vertical spacers in place. It's common to that technology.

As for how much you paid for it? I'll say FREE because it was a gift or something you found in the trash. With 20 - 21 in LCD's getting under $300 these days, I'm sure lots of places will be dumping their old, heavy, fuzzy, hot, power consuming CRT's in large quantities.

160W power consumption is it too much? give me your reviews...

look closer at the bottom left and see if it's really a P260 or a P275 ... I ordered a refurb P260 and got the P275.

I'm not extremely impressed. I get a very fuzzy picture for up to 2 or 3 minutes at a time once in a while (not often). The colors are terrible, and my DVI input doesn't even work!!!

But for cheapo refurb 21" it's not bad.

But the grey lines are standard. You'll forget they're there soon.

Perhaps, I was a bit harsh--after all it's hard to beat FREE--if it works! It's just that you DID ask us to guess how much you paid for it.

I was just saying that you can find used CRT's all over the place for a song now days.
