Title: Sony PVM137
Post by: dmckean on May 25, 2015, 12:27:23 am

I found one of these locally for practically free. Is this anything useful for our hobby? I was thinking maybe a Space Invaders+more cocktail or something. Do these newer B&W monitors have the same look and phosphor glow as older ones?

I would recommend snagging it up rather than wondering any day.  Plus if it doesn't glow you can always innovate with either a scotch-brite pad, maybe some fuzz, or a blurry clear film to lay on top.  Have fun with it and post pictures when you do!

If you snagged it up and feel like selling it, I am looking for this very monitor for my office.
