Cool... I think my college had those Dells back in the day and they were nice and crisp then. Hyundai might live forever, as I have an older, still functional one. The RM would I believe be a "Research Machines" unit, and may be a bit weird because it may have been for their Z80 based range 380Z or 480Z and be RGB 15khz, or it might be for their Nimbus, while x86 wasn't all that standard.

Thanks for that, always interesting finding out about these long gone brands
Checking the FCC ID told me it was a rebadged LG 521 but search's like RM CRT didn't bring up much.
Searching against Research Machines now seems like they supplied UK schools.

Here is a pic of it and the other dead Iiyama

Essex is most definitely a jaunt for me, but I’m seriously tempted by the 19” Dell regardless of the cracked cover.

Yeh was 1/2 tempted to keep that for myself been a Trinitron and all. It's ok you just cant put anything with any weight on top anymore.
But then the 2 inputs on either of the Iiyama 's would be useful and I definitely wont ever have the space for 2 large CRT's so I'm leaving it to fate.

Yeah, that looks more like DX4 era or later, by then they were shipping straight clones for school market. Not sure they were in the business much longer than that.

I was about to pounce on that AST monitor as it would match my Bravo but you say it's CGA? It looks identical to the SVGA monitors? I'm only down the A130 away too so I'll probably be back here shortly to decide on one 😀

Otherwise if it's not already taken then I like the look of the Iiyama Vision Master 17" MF-8617A

Hi. Ive been hunting for a good screen for a long while but without any luck. I would be very interested in grabbing one of the Iiyamas or the 19" Dell and could pick one any day which suits you after 2pm (im local)
Unfortunately, i cannot send you a PM

BTW could you post some more pictures of the last monitor (AST)? Back in the day, I used to have a 15" Daewoo branded SVGA screen and the front looked identical to this one.

Very generous of you to offer these monitors for free - I hope they go to good homes!

To me it looks like that monitor you believe is CGA is actually 9-pin VGA. I can't tell with certainty but its aesthetics look more in line with a VGA monitor and I'm not sure there were many CGA monitors manufactured in the 90s anyway.

I could be wrong. I don't know much about it as it came from someone clearing out a decesed estate.
Based on the model number I assumed it was a rebaged Daewoo CMC-1424S but maybe you and Steve are right, I mean I didnt even know 9pin VGA was a thing

it's ful detalis are:
Model: CMC-1424S
P/N: 501716-003
Sub P/N: 234192-001
Manufactured April 96

That LG looks nice, reminds me of the IBM design. I think I used to have 19" Sony that could do 100 MHz in 1024x768, but it would not fit in my current cave layout..

Yeh the LG seems pretty well made. The guy I got it from said it was a really good screen, again lack of space was the reason he was giving it away.
In recent years I've found screen mounted speakers useful for quick 20 minute game sessions before bed. I don't want to wake the whole house with the proper speakers but headphones drown out baby cry's which then gets me in trouble, damn kids 😜

I can relate. I had this stupid idea before I had kids that you could have headphones and game when you tended them.. I even bought a gaming. laptop.. Boy was I wrong..
