    anyone remember this tv/monitor?

    these were expensive and rare in my early computing days.
    whats the chances of finding one with zero hours?and for $5 at a yardsale?
    not even any dust inside or out.
    btw it makes a new crt tv look sick in comparison.

          Kc I may need that for my old AMD k6/2 that I'm putting back together soon....Do you have a white IBM "Clicker" keyboard, monitor and mouse to go with it? No for real I don't need it. I still have my old stuff from the first time around with the k6/2 upstairs. Looks good!

          There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

              a friend who did design work on those units stated that the antiglare coating on the crt cost nearly as much as the complete crt itself.thats why ge and mitsubishi only made these tubes a short time.
              this unit makes brand new sets look sick side by side.

                  Hard to tell is your window behind you when this picture is taken on bright day? Makes look washed out.

                  Coating on CRT? This is been going on for nearly a decade and Samsung and others were doing this on monitors and many flat CRTs for TVs.

                  Unless meant splutter deposit plating rather than film coating?

                  Cheers, Wizard

                      new units with anitglare coating too?
                      <wink>

                      many new crt tvs look like crap mostly because they're not calibrated(cheap chinese junk) and then perhaps they uses rejuvenated crts so it can't look that good to boot...
                      or chinese just make junk crts...rejuvenated or not...

                      but i doubt it would look as impressive next to my panasonic with videocolor tube, 14 years old...

                      also i have a thing against small crts...i just can't watch tv sitting in a chair, i lay and watch...
                      so that tv is a non starter for me even if it had better image than anything else ever produced...it's still tiny....

                          whats a CRT?!? I ditched all my CRT's a couple years ago. Nice nostalgic find, makes me want to work on my old Philco Predicta's, I have 3 of them buried in the garage.

                              crt is excellent for places where hdtv still didn't arrive....as sd content usually looks like crap on flat panels...
