Why make do with a pathetic little patch of screen, when with a $40 cable you can plug your 5300 straight into one of them nice, big, expensive monitors that someone else owns. I have a 5300 gray, and the screen is fine for most things. When I wanna do colour artwork I just borrow a colour monitor form a friend, or plug into one of the colour macs at uni. Works for me. and its cheaper. also I have the priviledge of cracking the screen of my old duo 270c. nice screen. $3500 to replace screen though. anyone want parts for a duo? 270HD, 12M RAM, logic board, keyboard, case?
