    Sounds like a Sony Trinitron to me. I had a 17" one for about a decade and it was equally magnificent and heavy. The largest one was 24" 16:10 widescreen.

    I wanted one so badly, but while these were finally somewhat affordable in 2010 (and still vastly superior to any flat-screen monitor), the shipping costs would have been ruinous.

      So in what way were they better? Back in the day, even he didn’t know, the only answer i got from him was that tge screen was flat. I didn’t really bother anymore because that was also the year people started showing up with flatscreens.

      … But as soon as someone showed you The Line, you could no longer NOT see it, which meant you had to sell it.

      i would still want one of those monitors, but the few i’ve seen are ridiculously priced.
