Dell - S2319NX 23" IPS LED FHD Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Black/Silver
Optimize your viewing experience on this 23-inch Dell LCD monitor. Its Full HD IPS screen lets you see content from almost any angle. Easily connect a laptop or a PC to the VGA and HDMI ports on this Dell LCD monitor.
 

Hello my name is Martin if you could respond to this it would be great well My s2319nx dell monitor is turning on it’s ok but half of the screen is like a fade of black into the normal color it really sucks usually I would unplug it and it would go back

Martin;

I would say in your case that the Monitor is defective. Fading is a common issue when the unit is going bad. You did try to reset it by restarting the monitor, and then you got the same result. It's time for a new monitor.

I need dsl thru att is this compatible.

Dear Tata;

If you are looking to add this wireless router to an existing DSL hook up, it will work fine. But if you are saying this would be the DSL line hook up, it does not provide the abilities to handle a DSL connection.

Does this printer accept replacement toner from third party or do you have to use Brothers toner?

Dear Elle;

Based on all the machines I have set up, I don't see a problem with using replacement toner on a Brother laser. My suggestion is to have one good toner around and one every-day toner around. Not all printouts are for professional purposes. This will help in case one fails.

All the best,

The lightweight, wireless mobile printer for professionals on the go. Easily print documents and photos from Apple® iPad® and iPhone®, tablets, smartphones and laptops with this Epson WorkForce WF-100 printer.
 

On average, how much would it cost to replace ink cartridges?

Dear Ron;

The average is in the $20 dollar range. Because the cartridges only print up to 300 pages, you will be replacing them, periodically. But for the comfort and ease of being somewhere else and you can guarantee a printout, that's worth it. Great machine. A++

Hope that helps,

Yes, the built-in Lithiu-ion battery needs replacement. Get a hold of Epson support and see how you can get one. Another avenue would be to look at eBay or Amazon for this batter.

what is the weight of this printer? Thank you,

Dear Lake;

The weight of this machine is 3 to 4 lbs. It's light as a feather, a little slow in printing the page, but, hey, you are printing in a car, at the hotel, on the job site. It's a real winner. Hope that helps.

I've never bought refurbished before. Do you get the full warranty? Can you buy an extended service plan from Best Buy?

Dear ServiceNelly;

Yes, pick up the extended warranty. It will give you some piece of mind (although many experts would say not to buy extended insurance). The regular warranty does carry on with the product. Refurbished machines always make people nervous, but having it looked over by experts is not a bad thing. Worth a try.
