What do you think of them? Personally I love them. Had one connected to a Mac many years ago. The whole deal was a package. Despite the obvious heavy use, the phosphorus were well worn, the graphics were still sharp as a tack.
I actually have 1, an old HP 19" (98788a iirc) which strangely takes an ntsc style signal. OK perhaps not that unusual for a single input-signal unit. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a composite style signal. But the tech literature shows that it highly resembled the ntsc format. Maybe other broadcast formats are similar looking also? Anyway there's no way of me utilizing this monitor. I do have an old HP computer that may even broadly fall into the same family as the unit meant to drive the monitor. But the similarities have their limits.
Most grayscale "2 page" monitors were either for Macs or (unix) workstations. I'm assuming. If there were any for pcs, they're few and far between.
Looking to hear what you all know about this somewhat obscure topic.
