Unless it's a CRT monitor. No one wants those.
- vereis 4y agoDepending on the model I'd take one!
- Zachsa999 4y agoIs this a ironic? I'm hearing about many retro gamers that love these
- systems_glitch 4y agoSeriously, some of them sell $500 USD and up, before shipping, nowadays.
- abruzzi 4y agoI did ditch my 3 SGI Sony Trinitron 21 inch monitors. The were the pinnacle of CRTs in my experience. I do still have a couple O2s, 3 or 4 Octane 2s, and a Fuel in my garage.
- ff317 4y agoI don't have it anymore, but for many years I kept an old Nokia CRT that I considered to be the pinnacle of the CRTs I had used. It was probably purchased in the late 1990s, something like (from googling) the Nokia 447xpro model. They used Trinitron screens, but Nokia also added really nice software for the on-screen control/setup stuff. I miss the old Nokia (their early GSM phones too!).

- bityard 4y agoIncorrect, the retro-computing crowd is paying increasingly decent money for good working monitors, especially the ones that have a recognizable brand on the badge.
