Free: 17" Monitor - please read details before requesting (Kings Heath B14) Gifted 193d - This monitor is a EIZO FlexScan L557 and is in working condition - but it is nearly 20 years old. This means that (although it works) it a) is not a super-sharp image by today's standards b) has a VGA connection to a computer. I'm happy to provide it with a VGA to USB3.0 adaptor. The adaptor itself needs a driver (which is on it but needs to be installed on the computer). Just please don't ask for this assuming it's shiny and new and can be plugged into anything! Equally if you have an older computer, this will probably be perfect :) If you are interested please let me know your name and when you'd like to collect, and also confirm that you know it's quite old - I won't respond to any emails that just say 'is this still available?'! We're at the Moseley end of Kings Heath, off Valentine Road. Thank you.
