I picked up a old 14" CRT today, model is Digital PCXBV-SA

I can't seem to find info about it, the connector on the back of the monitor appears CGA/EGA - two rows of pins.

Most hits describe this as a VGA monitor but the last digits are different, when I look at manuals for other PCXVB-XX monitors they all have integrated cables.

Does anyone on here know more about this, I can't find anything on google, checked archive.org so I'm hoping someone's brain will tell me if I need a 9 pin to 14 pin adapter (VGA) or what or if I might have a really late manufactured EGA/CGA screen.

Manufacture date 1995.

Hi
did you get any information about this monitor?
I just found one today. It powers up, but it doesn't show any light on the screen. I don't know if it's because it doesn't have an input signal or defective. I found it without the detachable cable.
I found a reference that says it's CGA/EGA. It may be a Samsung CSQ4327 rebranded to DIGITAL. mine is from october 1995.
And yes, as you say, it would be a very, very late EGA model. Unless there is some king of conversion from VGA15 to that 9 pin port.
I'll give it a good cleaning and start checking what problem it might have, but any additional information is welcome.

FYI

I may be a SAMSUNG CSQ4327 rebranded to Digital
it is svga
I found some schematics and they seem to be the right ones
the 9 pin input is three pins for RGB (go to a LM1203N) and two that seem to be sync (those 2 and the Green go to a SL506A, the data i found says it have sync-on-green), the rest 4 go to GND.
I think just making a suitable cable / converter 9-to-15 will do the trick.
