Sure if it looks and works well, it should as long as it doesn't have a million hours on it. For 75 bucks your not really risking a lot and you if he's asking 75 that usually means you can talk him down to $50. Then again you can buy NEW 20" monitor for a low as $120.

He was asking 100. I tried talking him down to 50 but we met halfway at 75. He said its under 2 years old, should I still go for it?

Samsung makes nice monitors. I have 3 but none are that model.

Bought it, I'm running it off my laptop until I have enough to build my desktop.
