Picked these up for my VR machine over the last couple days. I didn't really need the CRT but I like how it's kind-of color matched.

It's a nice one too, the detachable VGA cable makes it a little more manageable to lug around.
I've said in the past that I'm a big fan of the picture of late (2000-2005) generation CRTs, and that's true, but I will concede that LCD panels are a better technology. 😜 This thing is heavy, and it takes a ton of space. How the hell did I lug a 21" SGI monitor around to LAN parties when I was a teenager?

Speaking of LAN parties, it's great to have these! The Wingman Extreme was my go-to stick when I used to play the competitive Descent circuit back in the day. I seem to remember breaking several of them before switching to a Gravis Firebird II, but fortunately this one is in great shape. The Wingman Original's trigger button doesn't work but I bet I can fix it.

Incidentally the monitor had a bunch of little velcro circles stuck (HARD) to it for some reason. Can you tell there was one here?? 😜
