Alexander Jacocks There's a person living near me who is offering, for free, a 27" Sony Trinitron TV. If anyone is interested, let me know, --
I literally just posted, in the "what is vintage" thread, "who collects LCD TVs?" as a counter point about interest in vintage computers. So this is more on-topic than you'd think. Some people think personal computing was *all about graphics and gaming*, and so about displays. The Sony Trinitron CRT was an advance on color CRTs. Not sure where a 27-inch comes in, by age. They made pretty big CRT monitors! There are persons interested in CRT monitors in our cohort. Regards, Herb Herbert R.

The young people can hear the CRT wine and sometimes it annoys them enough that they shy away from the vintage stuff. Plus 4:3 LCD TVs are good for the 8 bit micros if you move them around a bunch, or for testing :-) I sold my non-working Sony PVM cube TV, but wouldn't mind one that works someday in the future. - Ethan

I can still hear that @#$%! noise. It really hurts my ears. I think I have a 29" Sony TV and a 21"(?) XVGA(?) Sony from 1987. I'm holding onto both for now. I haven't started either recently -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
