Cheap monitors at Walmart

Just an fyi, the local Walmart has some cheap little 15" computer monitors. Sticker price is $98. I suspect these are actually re-purposed TV screens since the resolution is 1366x768. The contrast ratio is specified as 500. One of these could make a nice screen for a Propeller project or something similar and the price is not too bad.

    It's a flat screen LCD, probably 15.4 or 15.6" actual. It's not the Acer, the brand name was Synapse I think. The Acer is a normal stock item and usually around $140 in stores. This is likely going to be one of those "while supplies last" deals they have at times. It's not a super deal, but okay if you happen to need something like this.
