This was the same monitor that our first family PC had, though I think it was under a different brand. Man did I miss those simple analog dials after upgrading - every monitor that I used since is just garbage when it comes to settings, especially CRTs where I had to constantly move and stretch the image using the awful menus where the button functions keep changing.

My builds!

Philips 107E5 - got this insanely cheap ($3nz) a few months ago. Has a few minor issues - it's quite yellowed on the back (who cares) and the buttons are a bit stuck (but still work if you push hard enough).

It does up to 1280x1024, but I run it at 1024x768 and use my 16:10 LCD for anything above (mostly 1600x1200).

Overall very happy with this purchase. I swore I wouldn't buy another CRT (I have a Sony PVM for my consoles that cost a bomb) but couldn't resist, took a punt on this and wasn't disappointed.

I just picked up a new old stock Samsung SyncMaster 753s ! I I had the 19" version of the SyncMaster back in the day, but this 17" is even better with the limited space I have now. I'll post pictures of my retro closet later.

Holy F. Good find. That these things are still lingering in warehouses, store rooms or wherever... I hope it still works. Do show followup photos when you get a chance.

My retro corner has:

Siemens Nixdorf MCM 2110 NTD:
Absolute beast of a 21” computer monitor. Awesome picture and glorious size.

JVC DT-V 1710CG
Professional 17” multi-sync CRT that does 15khz all the way up to 720p/1080i. Perfect for Amiga and other stuff that gives 50/60hz signals.

Also added a bonus pic that better shows what a chunky boi the Siemens Nixdorf is.

My spare monitors for the C64/Amiga. I'll have to book a time to use a 3D printer at the local library to make the missing front panel of the 1084S.

The monitors are:
Phillips CM833-II
Commodore 1084S-P
Commodore 1084S-D2

The main 1084 is missing from the picture, because that's the one i'm using.. not daily but weekly or montly.

Hi! New here. Starting off with an easy thread. My Sun Micro System GDM-5410. 21" of 1600x1200 max goodness! Scooped for free off Craigslist 4 or 5 years ago.

Complete with VGA (HD15) output and 13W3 integrated cable.

A few minor scuffs on it that I could probably get off without too much effort if I ever actually tried, but I'm also too busy playing on it. 😁

How come the HUD is all messed up?

Doom95 which doesn't play right in this system for some reason. I just clicked on the first thing my mouse pointer found to out something gamey on the screen. 😀

The (not so) impossible has happened, free CRT VGA monitors have disappeared in the neighborhood so I asked if someone in the community had one for sale. Nothing. Recyclers are going from house to house now to collect copper sources so the golden days are over.
Managed to get this trio from the next town. The 765MB is so dim and blurry that I'm ashamed of showing it but the IBM G74 and the LG Studioworks 773 are excellent. The LG is a little strange because it doesn't have any labels on the front and it's missing the big LG logo on the back. Whatever, I didn't think I'd have to travel and PAY to get midrange CRT VGA monitors.

I have three CRT monitors but this one is oldest and maybe most interesting. It seems to have no geometry adjustment settings but that's ok for now because the geometry is very good. This monitor came with a mail order 386 my family bought in 1991. Never had any issues with it. Unfortunately the image doesn't display all the way to the plastic bezel, no matter the resolution there's always a good half inch square border between the bezel and the displayed image. It can do 640x480, but I'm not sure if it can go 800x600. Kinda don't want to test that in case it lets out the magic smoke. It's doing fine with my 386 where it's permanently on lower resolutions anyway. I'd hate to lose it.

Here you can see the constant black border since the image does not fill the screen. I don't think anything's breaking down, I don't think it ever filled the screen.
