I have three crt monitors. Until I can get an adapter, it's the only way to use my Amiga A4000 video toaster.

I keep a shed filled with CRT monitors and displays for my systems. LCD panels are lighter but sometimes it doesn't feel the same. There's also three or four machines I own where their light pens require a CRT to operate at all.
I did run dual 21" Trinitron monitors on my desktop until 2013 when I moved and my new desk pretty much forced me to use wallmount LCD panels. I'd love to go back and use something like FW900 monitors but aside from only having one of those they are famous for their flybacks giving out. |

i have few kicking around, for use with an Apple iie, a commodore 64, and a monitor with the higher res mode for my Amiga 1200, which recently had a hard drive failure. That one was in occasional use until last year.
I do have extra Commodore 1702 monitors if someone is interested in one. They are pretty sharp for 13" color composite video, much better picture than most 13" color TVs. |

I was using one up until I got my current computer in 2012. We also had one on our Macintosh Performa we still used for games until we got rid of it around 2014. I wish we still had it though. Those seem to have gotten where they have quite a bit of monetary value now too.

I run a LaCie Electron Blue 22 IV with my modern desktop and 386. It has an NEC/Mitsubishi Diamondtron Aperture grille CRT in it. scans at 1600x1200 @ 85Hz. I'm not replacing it until OLED is cheap. I would love to find another one! Excuse the mess on my desk

I have 2 I use with my vintage computers....
1988 NEC MultiSync II JC-1402HWA 14" CRT - I got this for free in 2017 from Computer Surplus in Redmond and had to bodge-wire the input board together (Cracked). Other than that it needs a retrobright job, but otherwise the picture is AMAZING for an almost 40 year old CRT monitor thanks to my tuning. Micron 14" CRT SVGA w/ Digital Controls - A little dim, brought it up with a tiny voltage boost. This one is the one I use more often because I want to preserve the NEC as that's my favorite due to aesthetic and my connection from fixing it. |

I have an old 17-inch (approximate)HP CRT computer monitor gathering dust in my bedroom. It works, but the raster no longer fills the screen and I'm thinking at least one filter capacitor may have gone bad in the power supply, since the raster also seems to have a bend in it, not unlike what happens in old TVs when 60Hz hum gets into the video. I no longer use the monitor for that reason and because I now have an HP flat panel monitor in my computer system (Dell Optiplex 755, HP-832C printer). I am half thinking of discarding the old HP monitor since I have no use for it any longer, such as it is and because it is just sitting on an old desk in my bedroom taking up space.
