I see there are some of these testers on ebay too. I might get one there.

I've still got my VGA/SVGA tester from 2000/2001 - 16 different test patterns - got it at Anatek for 70 bucks. I repaired hundreds of monitors and sold used thrift-store monitors to schools systems. In my gold recovery efforts, I've amassed a nice stack of LCD screens, most of which are untested 1280x1024 stuff, but a few 17"ers, tested, could yield some bucks over on eBay....the cost/benefit analysis has me encouraged. I also could rig up a battery pack to test 'em on the go, so it's a win/win...
This on the heels of buying three testers from China just last month. If only there were comparables made in the US....
