Sounds like a Sony Trinitron to me. I had a 17" one for about a decade and it was equally magnificent and heavy. The largest one was 24" 16:10 widescreen.

I wanted one so badly, but while these were finally somewhat affordable in 2010 (and still vastly superior to any flat-screen monitor), the shipping costs would have been ruinous.
So in what way were they better? Back in the day, even he didn't know, the only answer i got from him was that tge screen was flat. I didn't really bother anymore because that was also the year people started showing up with flatscreens.
... But as soon as someone showed you The Line, you could no longer NOT see it, which meant you had to sell it.
i would still want one of those monitors, but the few i've seen are ridiculously priced.
