Got 4 CCFL 16/10 monitors for free.
The resolution is almost Full HD (1680x1050)
VGA Input only is a bummer though.
Uses cheap TN panel with terrible viewing angles.
Even though this is not 17" 5:4 screen, still has very low resell value here. Can be found for 15-20 euros.
All the 4 monitors were not working and needed psu recap. Used mix of mediocre / junk caps to recap them, then donated 3 of them to friends/relatives and kept 1 for myself. Also like to install extra caps on empty spaces to help them last longer.
After recap found that 1 of them had some kind of fw issue because it would mess up the colors every time I factory resetted monitor or went to menu to set colors to 6500K or similar mode. Found solution for this going to white balance option and setting it to yes to auto calibrate.
I also noticed that 1 of the 4 monitors had some weird image artifacts like faint burn in in the shape of 2 diagonal lines running all over the monitor.
Anyway, that's it for the repair of these monitors.
As always posting some pics before and after in case someone finds it handy in the future.
