I've always wanted a BVM. never have come across one. a have a few PVMs though which I guess are almost as nice.

I've got various broadcast/production monitors of different brands, but PVMs are indeed nice monitors and often more straight forward to just hookup and play some games on, in comparison to a BVM needing external speakers, clean sync etc..

.. And also the fact in regards to this topic, that they are quite a lot heavier the BVMs - where PVMs are easier on the back 😉

I had a 19 inch Dell CRT on top of a desktop machine once but the case on that thing was built like a tank. All steel, no plastic in structural areas at all, only on the fascia.
