Today i found two Eizo Flexscan 19 inch monitors in the trash point close to my work place. They semmed in god condition execpt for being watered by one cleaning machine this morning just before i have seen them. I decided to give them a chance and i took the two inside my office. I whased and dry them off thoroughly before i connected them to the PC and that was my satidfaction because the two monitors were in working condition except for one of them that was wet inside the led panel because of the watering and had a kind of shadow over the screen image. Does anyone know how can i get rid of this shadow? Perhaps i should heat it up to evaporate the wetness inside the panel?
@mikelga wow, nice! :)
People are trowing out perfectly good hardware, or donating it to thrift stores. I bought a pair of Samsung LCD monitors, separately, both working and higher spec models. Just couldn't pass the opportunity.
@design_RG yes, indeed! This monday i went to the valuable recicling deposit ( i do not know how do you call it) to throw away a very damaged microwave oven from the early 2000s when i realized that people throw a large number of valuable electronic items such as turnables, radios, tv screens and a lot of computer pheriperals... It made me think about how much we waste everything just for, sincerelly, i do not know why...
I am searchig for a turnable that it is not very damaged and i saw a technics brand one but had the deck a little bit deformated and the chasis was broken...
@mikelga I remember dreaming of hi-fi gear way back in my younger days; then working part time while in university, to buy piece by piece the parts to make a nice system.
And nowadays -- you can find stuff on the trash on garbage collection day, or donated to thrift stores. I have a few receivers here that are Vintage, Yamaha, Mitsubishi, but still couldn't pass a beautiful Technics from the 90's when I saw it in the store.
For less than 10 dollars. The cost of the parts, it's a heavy amp, would be hundreds in its days.
