Heyo,
Just checking if something like this exists, but is there a 4:3 9 inch color VGA LCD that is ideal for retro computing? I’m sure it does, just wondering if someone out there knows something I’m unaware of. Bonus points if someone can also find a crt with similar specs! Thanks 😀

I think that you'd be hard pressed to find a CRT monitor that meets your criteria for a reasonable price. Whenever I see CRT monitors listed on Facebook Marketplace, they are usually late 90s monitors and bigger than 9 inches. Ebay will probably cost you a premium.

If you don't mind losing an inch, there's a modern LCD that has VGA: https://www.eyoyousa.com/eyoyo-s801c-8-inch-s … t-p00216p1.html

Never tried it myself, but having multiple input types looks convenient.
