My video monitor is crapping out & I need a new one, but don't have tons of money to spend. I'm thinking about getting this cheapo one, what do y'all think?

Was your old one that is crapping out a cheapo one? How long do you intend to keep using it? Just wondering if it might be worth spending a bit more to get one that lasts.

My old one is normally like $120 but I got it on eBay for $80. I plan on using it for about a year more, once she's older I won't need video so much and can just use the audio one that I currently still have in Cash's room. The only one cheaper than this on eBay is a decent brand used one and it's only a couple bucks cheaper, an older model as powerful (900MHz vs. 2.4 GHz). I'd try my luck on some of the auctions (as opposed to buy it now ones) but I'm afraid the monitor I have is not going to last long enough for a 7 day auction + shipping. Everything I can find new is over $100.

I have no idea. I never used a video one.
