Hi all,

Long story short - I'm rebuilding the pc setup from childhood. I've tracked down everything except for the screen (pictures attached in highest resolution I'm able to acquire acquire now).

The attachment received_125179666253636.jpeg is no longer available

I had an IBM Aptiva ps/2 and my family bought it in 95 I believe.

I'd love help identifying the screen so that I can search for it in hopes to acquire one.

Thanks all!

Current wild guess is it's a 15" IBM G or E series... there's a few aptiva fans around might have a better idea.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

IBM-branded Viewsonic? Hard to say.

Life isn't long enough to re-enable every hidden option in every BIOS on every board... 🙁

Have you got the original 35mm film negatives ?
You could order/develope bigger photos digitalized or on larger paper and you could be able to see the small front IBM-sticker label on screen better.
I don't know if that IBM label on lower left shows the exact model name but it is worth to try.

Usually full type name of monitor is on the back sticker of monitor. So it might not help.
