So as the title says I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. If you don't wanna read the FRAT, please provide a link to the absolute cheapest TV/VGA monitor deal you know of. If you're interested in the details here is what's up:
Anyway
Unfortunately, like a week ago, an entire glass of water spilled all over my monitor & keyboard when my cat jumped up on my desk and knocked it over. Immediately parts of the screen started turning pink, green, yellow etc. Now as the days go on, especially in the last 2 or 3, there are gigantic, colored blotches/lines going up the screen, growing every day. I assume it's water trapped in there or some shit.
I literally know nothing, nothing at all, about this kind of shit. Can anyone provide me with either a few links or whatever, to an LED (or LCD? does it matter?) TV with a VGA input (regular PC monitor input). That is what I've had in my room... a 17 inch LED TV with VGA. I think it'd LED anyway, I have no idea as it was given to me a few years ago when I got someone's broken PC after they upgraded. Could be LCD, but I don't know or care.
I am literally looking for the cheapest option, I don't care about brand name or quality. In fact, I think I'd rather go the refurbished route, solely based on how cheap the shit is. I checked walmart.com (again, based solely on my desire for the absolute cheapest thing available) and did find this, which seemed like a shockingly good deal to me. I thought something this size, being that it's both a TV and monitor, would be $200-300 or some shit. But I have literally never purchased a TV in my life, it's all been second hand shit.

Is this worth saving up to get? Or is this kind of thing (wal mart refurbished shit) a rip off and too good to be true? When I see a price that low, I automatically assume there has to be a reason why. However, last year in April, I did get my PC on eBay for only $99 after my old one finally shit the bed.. It's refurbished, but is very modern (came out in 2012) - especially compared to the piece of shit I had before. It didn't come with an OS, which was fine with me. It's been running absolutely perfect since last year with not a problem
I'm broke anyway so I don't plan on getting something for at least a month or two. If this pink line shit gets way worse, I will probably dig up an old 1990s CRT monitor from my basement to use for the computer, lol.. but I won't have any TV. I thought I would be way more fucked if I wanted a monitor that was both (TV/VGA), but when I saw walmart had one for 89, I realized that might actually be doable somewhere down the line.
