DrBeaker Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Hi All, Knowing how cash-strapped most schools are in the UK - I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in this. We have some TFTs that we don't really need anymore due to upgrades. They are mostly the same type of monitor - silver HannsG HW191D I believe.(https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000GYHS6Y/?coliid=I1TD89D29666W3&colid=3IVYZUA6JR74O&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) There's probaly at least 30-40x maybe. Not sure of exact numbers yet, most are in used good condition. I've got rid of any that have been damaged or scratched etc. But are any schools in need of some monitors? Would anybody be interested in a collection of them? We're in the West Midlands. I'd have to speak with our School Business Manager for their decision, but I'd imagine they might be free. Seems a shame for them to be sitting there gathering dust otherwise. 2
DrBeaker Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 I'd be interested in a few but not all. We've offered them to local schools etc and I've been told apparently nobody wants them. There's nothing wrong with them. Up until the past few months, they were still in full daily use by students in our IT suites. We've simply upgraded from 19" to 22" TFTs as part of some upgrades. I'll try to take some pictures and update the thread with them. Would you be able to collect? if it can be arranged? What sort of number? Again I'll need to get it all approved by the SBM but if they're funny about it I'll let you know.

We should be able to arrange collection. Let me know what your SBM says.
jonathon28 Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Hi, would be interested in them if there'es any left. I will PM you.

Let me know what your SBM says. Well that's what I was thinking along the lines of. And a bit of good PR between schools might be useful to both of us perhaps? I will update the thread with more info when I can.

I will update the thread with more info when I can. If these are still available for free I’d happily have them as we still use these onsite so would be good for spares or simply second monitors, where are you located?
Chuckster Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I could do with 10 or so. Are they still available?
AliG Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I could make use of some of these to replace some 17" 4:3 tft monitors
DrBeaker Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 Sorry guys, you know how it is - I'm waiting on an answer from the powers that be to decide. Will update when I have some more info.
Chuckster Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 @mhaddock, is there any update since your last post?
DrBeaker Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 @mhaddock, is there any update since your last post? Sorry the latest is that they MIGHT have to reuse these monitors after all!
