...the price wasn't so high.
Of course prices are this high because this is for industrial applications. Old companies that still rely on CNC machines, plastic injection machines and old systems that used digital TTL monitor signal output.
It's funny how the GOTEK floppy emulator is such an example of a product. It was never intended for the retro community, but it easily became an option because it was cheap and super useful. Unfortunately, prices for these monitors are way high. One could buy a 27" IPS LED panel for that amount of money. This is why this won't be an option for the "retro market".
Nevertheless i wish i had one of those, i saw some videos on youtube and found a website that sells these monitors:
Monochrome LCD.
CGA colour LCD.
Multimode LCD panel. Various sizes available, compatible with MDA, Hercules, CGA and EGA.
Monochrome TTL to VGA Adapter Box, this would be even more useful. Costs 435USD.
What we would need is a retro project of this kind, it would be probably easier to just create one of these converter boxes to use with a VGA monitor.
