My commodore 1702 is getting closer to being usable again. Well, reflowed every solder joint on the back of the tube, and the weird artifacting is gone, but its still insanely blurry and flickering very lightly. At thjs point im thinking maybe just a picture and focus knob adjustment will get it the rest of the way.

A blurry list of file names on a crt monitor. They are too blurry to read.

Same thing with #tvs ever since that one update, that #rokutv has lost #internet privileges permanently, I want to #ownyourdata , #own my devices, now im tied between getting a small #CRTmonitor or a oled monitor that doesn't require an internet connection

New CRT monitor pickup! 19" Gateway 2000 EV900, manufacture date September 1997. Maxes out at 1600x1200 screen resolution. Has a pretty decent picture quality and geometry, no apparent defects after looking it over a bit.

This is far and away bigger and better than anything else I previously owned. Got it for a decent price compared to other local offerings. Looking forward to some retro gaming on this thing over the weekend!

My new-old Gateway 2000 EV900 monitor set up on my desk, complete with an old beige keyboard and a Microsoft Trackball mouse.

Also ich war und bin immer schon ein großer Fan davon, dass man alte, bzw. gebrauchte Hardware wiederverwendet. Heutzutage wird viel zu viel weggeworfen und neu gekauft. Wir haben Hardware usw. immer in der Familie oder an Freunde weitergegeben, so gut wie nie wurde etwas weggeworfen. "Früher" als man noch nicht so viel um die Kühlung der Komponenten gab, haben wir versucht, auf die Northbridge bzw. Southbridge ausrangierte kleiner Lüfter zu bauen usw. 😂🙈

Wenn ich so überlege, was wir im Laufe der Jahre für tolle Sachen aus alter Hardware gebaut haben, einiges war noch vorhanden, der Rest wurde von eBay gebraucht gekauft. Ich selbst habe letztes Jahr einen tollen PC aus alter Hardware geschenkt bekommen, der ganz wunderbar lief. Dieses Jahr gab es kostenlos ein Upgrade aus gebrauchten Komponenten für genau diesen PC, da bei einem Bekannten im Betrieb eine Umstrukturierung im EDV-Bereich statt fand. Ich habe dann nur noch neuen RAM, eine Wasserkühlung und ein paar schicke LED-Lüfter mit Controller dazu gekauft - fertig war mein toller PC, der immer noch super läuft. 😉

Aber jetzt hat mein Sohn doch echt den Vogel abgeschossen!

Vor wenigen Tagen tauchte im Gespräch mit ihm das erste Mal das Wort "CRT-Monitor" auf. Die Älteren unter uns werden diese Dinger noch kennen... ja genau, das sind die dicken Klopper, die den ganzen Platz auf dem Schreibtisch brauchen für ein winzig kleines Bild. Zumal hatte ich vor vielen vielen Jahren an so einem Monitor einen gewischt bekommen und habe seitdem ein gestörtes Verhältnis zu diesen Dingern, aber das ist eine andere Geschichte.

Naja, jedenfalls erzählte er mir, dass das Bild auf diesen Monitoren viiiiiel besser sei als auf einem OLED. Und er hätte sich jetzt einen bestellt. Er schickte mir Preise von eBay, die mich ein wenig an der Menschheit zweifeln ließen, ich würde den nicht für geschenkt nehmen.

Mein Sohn klärte mich auf, dass es da wohl eine ganze Community gibt, denn Röhrenmonitore sind wohl der "heiße Scheiß" bei manchen Gamern.

Einfach mal bei YouTube nach "crt monitor gaming 2024" suchen.

Gaming hin oder her - man sieht doch auf diesen kleinen Teilchen nix!

Nun kam ein Monitor an. Schreibtisch voll. Eigentlich traute sich auch niemand, das alte Ding anzumachen.

Als wir dieses Problem mit einer Verlängerungsschnur lösten und der Monitor sich laut knackend einschaltete, dachte ich nur: "Bin ich froh, dass ich sowas nicht mehr habe!".

Vielleicht muss ich auch nicht jeden Trend verstehen. Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass die eine Kathode schon ne Macke hat. Jedenfalls hat mich das Bild nicht überzeugt. Nun kommen noch 2 Monitore an, mal sehen, ob die besser sind - ich bin jedenfalls gespannt!

Fascinada por esta máquina. Es preciosa, potentísima para su época, y fabricada como un tanque.

Fascinated with this computer. It's beautiful, mighty powerful in their time, and built like a tank.

It features a bulky CRT monitor, which was common for that era before flat-panel screens became popular.
Below the monitor is an integrated keyboard, part of what would later become known as all-in-one computers or workstations designed for productivity and business use.

My dad brought me an HDMI-VGA adapter. Here are some pics of my colorblind CRT monitor.

A Vintage Monitor Lives Again with a New Heart https://hackaday.com/2024/01/29/a-vintage-monitor-lives-again-with-a-new-heart/ #Retrocomputing #commodore1702 #RepairHacks #CRTmonitor #crt

Many years ago, I lived in an apartment with two roommates in the, ah, affordable part of our town. The building was fairly old and not well insulated, so considering Canadian winters can be a bit brisk, my bedroom could get quite cold - however, that big for the time 17" CRT was really good at keeping me a little warmer.

Writing this on a Packard Bell CRT Monitor #crtgaming #crtmonitor

Bill Gates is such a genius. PC CRT layouts are linear horizontally, but nonlinear vertically. This way, a crt scanner sweeping left to right linearly can produce circular pixels that are all equidistant from each other.

And, for every individual color a circle of equidistant pairs of triangles surround it that are composed of the colors it isn't. So blue is surrounded by red and green, green is surrounded by red and blue, and red is surrounded blue and green. This is so genius.

@zombierustpunk Yeeeah, okay fair 😅 But hear me out! Have you ever seen what artist Nam June Paik was able to do with old CRT TVs? 🙌

@aallan @Raspberry_Pi I feel like people who want to do a #RetroGaming #RaspberryPi build with an older #CRTMonitor could get a lot of use out of these. You'd probably sell a lot.

aaand i forgot to add my age to my introduction...so anyway i'm 21 lol. another thing i forgot is to mention that i primarily play on #pc but i also play on my #3ds and #ps2 (with an actual #crtmonitor !). I #emulate many #nes #snes and sometimes #ps1 games as well! either on steam officially or unofficially. you can see the majority of my pc collection on https://steamcommunity.com/id/neguuy , the rest is obscure fangames and stuff like #tetris #tetrisgrandmaster3, feel free to ask me about it :)

A CRT Monitor Restoration

Nothing quite says vintage computer like a dedicated glass terminal. We enjoyed [Adam's] restoration of an Acorn CRT monitor. The monitor is old enough to have that vintage vibe, but not so old as to be an antique.

The 14 inch monitor had a common problem: a defective power switch. Replacing a switch shouldn't be a big deal, of course, but these old CRT monitors have exciting voltages inside and require special care.

One common issue, for example, is the fact that the old CRTs are really large capacitors and can hold a dangerous charge for some time. The easiest way to handle the potential problem is to make sure the device is unplugged, ground a screwdriver blade, and push the blade under the second anode cap. Most of the time, nothing happens. Once in a while, though, you'll hear a loud pop and you just saved yourself a nasty shock.

Even though the actual repair was pretty mundane, the teardown was a great nostalgia trip and while we don't want to give up our LCD, we do like the old glass.

CRTs have a long history and came a long way before their last gasps. They even took a turn as mass storage devices.
