The Diamondtron 2070?
Those have been the holy grail of CRTs for the last decade, yes.
Think there was a badge engineered, identical one from Acer, including a black one.That, along with the Sony 24", 16:10 GDM-FW900, maybe.
Friend of mine and flatmates used that as a quasi television screen in the living room for quite some time into the 2010s, to endlessly binge "Friends", HIMYM or Star Trek. Eventually, it went blurry AF.
They all do. So, any CRT will be a burning candle, of course.Tried to get a high end CTR some years ago, locally. No use, already way past the timeframe when they were retired in CAD shops by the dozens.
And, unlike components, no one is storing those beasts. Most went to the shredder, I'd reckon.I settled on decent Iyama 17" as my token CRT.
Best chance you'll have today is looking for "some old monitor, really heavy" in the classifieds 😉
Let's face it, this is how any CRT looks to normal people:
Any idea of how much the monitor went for?
CRTs going out blurry. Isn't that a degrading focus voltage? ie should be easily fixable.
you'ld be amazed how many CRTs still come in to the recycling centers. While the LCD's often have a cracked screen, I doubt the crts will have any major damage aside from deteriorated capacitors.
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.
