Title: FREE 21" Trinitron Flat CRT High Res -- FREE (You pay shipping)
Post by: JustCallMeCrash on Sat, 17 December 2011, 13:14:55
I have a 21" (19.75" glass) Sony Trinitron (Micron branded).  It's in GREAT condition and outputs VERY high resolution... I have it hooked up just now for testing and it's displaying at 1920 x 1440 at the highest resolution setting.  It has 2 inputs with a switch on the front (I only tested one input, but last time I used it, both were working).  I used to have a match to this monitor, but I took it to work as a donation. (If you want to cry a bit, they plugged it up to a server where the KVM on-screen indicator promptly burned itself into the screen.)

I know some of you are enamored with the 4:3 resolution screens and some of you just really like CRTs, so I thought I'd post this offer here before I take it to work and leave it near the plant exit with a note taped to the glass.

If you'd like an idea what freight will cost, I'm shipping from 28138 and the monitor weighs about 80lbs.  

The lighter pictures are more representative of the actual shade of beige.  I include the darker picture only to show that the monitor works.

That reminds me, I have a fully functional 22" NEC FP2141SB-BK (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824002091) sitting in my closet. Free for locals willing to pick up.

If I was capable of correctly calculating freight shipping, I could be interested. How deep is this thing?

I had one of these shipped to me like 10 years ago, came in a massive box.  Has to be packed in pretty tight with a lot of packing.

I have two different models of 21" trinitons in my garage and I was feeling nice so I measured them.

H (w/o base) x W x D
19 x 20 x between 19 & 21

The base can be removed and shoved in the area above the tube.  You're probably looking at 22 x 22 x 24 at least, just to make sure there is enough packing.

Thank you inaneframe.  I didn't look at this at all yesterday or I would have answered.  I appreciate you jumping on it like that.

I'll hold onto this monitor until 1/3, but after that I'll be bringing it to work to give away.  PM me if you're interested to be sure I see it.

Thanks, all.
