A few 20-21" 4:3 LCD monitors from the past would be HP 2065, Samsung 214T, Dell 2007FP, ... Maybe you can find one in a good condition locally for a low price.

We still have quite a few Dell 2007s at work, wish I could have a 2007 at home for the composite and audio bar

Ossc pro + any modern oled display.

Sounds like you really want a S2133 :p

I agree, the Dell 2007FP/FPb is a solid choice and it's much cheaper. But it's a bit of luck if you get a model with an S-IPS panel, because it also shipped with PVA panels and it's not obvious from online sellers which one has been used.

I have two of them (S-IPS variants, the second one was in the dumpster pile at work and I snatched it 🥰).

One has been used for many years already and it's gotten quite dark because of the CCFL backlight burning out.

I love these monitors, they handle all resolutions I throw at them and also look pretty nice scaled down. They're a little nerve-wracking to disassemble and some models also have bad capacitors, but it's worth it to keep those running and fix them up.
