Older Monitors

[Chris M]

many 16 inch and larger monitors from that era were
oem-ed by Sony. I used to find them at TCF for as
little as $10 in the mid 90s. The one favorite of mine
was the GDM-1932 IIRC, which was Sonys house number,
but had an IBM monniker. I never had an issue with
them. Not as radiation compliant and certainly more
power hungry then a newer model, but the thing had a
date code of 1988! Havent pulled them out in a while
but I still have 2.
