I need help... I recently bought two 19" Samsungs for an amazing price that was an error or something at my work. I basically will be paying $160 total for the two after mailing in the $40 rebates for each monitor, which normally sell for 240 apiece... I planned on selling the second to cover the costs and make a bit of extra cash, but now that I've seen the quality compared to my current monitor, I am having second thoughts about selling it. I will make, at most, $60-100 by selling the second one, $80 of which will cover the cost of the first one, so it is a fairly decent gain...however, I use two monitors and having the two matching monitors instead of the mix-matched ones of different quality would be much better. What do you guys think? I really can't decide, been bothering me all day.

Also, if you have any good reasons besides the ones I already know and should probably follow, post them! I need you guys to point out why it is so obviously the right idea to keep it! Don't let me sell it! Too good a deal to sell it, augh....huge profit be damned!

cash is great, but you have already answered your question Mase, you use 2 monitors, and these are good monitors, so basically it is a lot better to have the same monitors, rather than 2 mixed.

Job done. Keep them both Smile

I'll ship you the old 18" CRT that I was using as my secondary, if you want to pay the shipping costs. It only weighs about 60 pounds. Razz

You should have bought four monitors.

Sadly, there were only two left. Probably a good thing, I would have gone into debt if I had the option to buy more than two. Laughing

*LOL* That's okay. I have an old Sony Trinitron 19'' CRT...I think I hurt myself moving that damn thing during my undergrad.

Thanks for the offer though. Wink

Oh, and keep the matched monitors. You got a great deal! Shocked
