Thought this was interesting......

Hoopz:
That is cool.
Now we wait until some tool comes along and says it should be a LCD because it's better.
;D
Thanks for posting the link. :applaud:
King Nerd:
I think this looks amazing, and it's quite the gimmick.

His site hasn't been updated since April 2008 and says they'll be available "soon".
They are a little pricey though.
"Anticipated price: $999 including GPS receiver and power adapter "
RayB:
GPS ??
Say, does something like that last, being on 24/7 ?
Level42:
The GPS is only used to get the correct time and date. Over here there are some land based LF radio beacons that are synced to an atomic clock so all the clocks with receivers for them are running exactly on time. Not sure if that's a world-wide feature so maybe they choose GPS for that.
This is a professional CRT it will run for very long but there is certainly some danger of burning in.
What I really like is the perfect round shapes in the characters. This shows that current processor power can do so much nicer vectors then back in the 80's.
So, who's going to write a vector-mame version for this clock ? ;)
