67.4 lbs, but 20" and 1600x1200, which was incredible 25 years ago. It was by far the best monitor of my friend group, despite the heft.
It took a long time to find an LCD to replace it with.
- MBCook 2y agoWow. Just that image of the monitor brings back memories of reading Mac magazine because they used that same example pictures on all their ads.
- lostlogin 2y agoEarly LCDs had that dumb dead pixel thing too, which made the upgrade from CRT risky. Modern screen may have the issue too, but pixels are so small I probably wouldn’t notice.
- notarealllama 2y agoNowadays you get dead lines, like blue or red, and with high resolution it's generally liveable unless you're super sensitive. I'm fairly intolerant and had a Samsung with a blue line, but didn't bother me much.
- brokenmachine 2y agoI don't believe dead lines are a common problem with modern displays. I would certainly return one if it had a dead line.
- neckro23 2y agoThere's a dead pixel on my 4k monitor. It's so small that I think it's just a speck of dust, if I notice it at all.
- yard2010 2y agoHaha AppleVision
- PlunderBunny 2y agoI think we had one of those in the Remote Sensing Lab at my university. You could fit an entire Civilisation 1 map on screen without having to scroll vertically (you still had to scroll horizontally - natch).
