The Dell P1130 is a 4:3 bland Dell PC monitor from the early 2000s. So, why is it significant now?

What's the furthest you've traveled to acquire a CRT? (kbin.social)

Curious just how far some of you have gone for a CRT, and why!

For me, it was about 300 miles round trip to rural central Wisconsin to pick up a free Dell D1626HT. The guy really didn't want to pay the $20 ewaste fee to dispose of it so he had it listed on eBay for local pickup.

It turned out to be completely worth the trouble - not only was it a rebadge of the excellent Sony GDM-500PS (Trinitron PC monitor), it was in near mint condition too. Still gets regular use today 6 years later.

Anime-style art looks good on CRTs (if arguably too fuzzy). (media.kbin.social)
