That's probably one of the most hilarious things I've come accross. Well, if anyone wants to try and fix it, hurry and buy it!

There's nothing really interesting about IBM monitors. Except for the T221.
In fact, that thing was so interesting as to make up for all the other boring ones.

I already know about the T221 (and my computer was built for it I should add); here's one that had the same fate as that CRT:

I like IBM monitors, they have really cool stands (some you can tilt 360), and the button layout just "makes sense". Other manufacturers put buttons on the back, and make the button navigation very strangely...

All of my monitors are IBM; they are really sharp and have good colour. I don't like things that are tacky (flashy blue LEDs, crazy buttons, weird sci-fi stands, or that HORRIBLE silver painted plastic). Just plain black! And good button layout.

I'm happy with my monitors. At least they refresh at 60Hz.

Tilt 360°?  Really?  Full back-flip?

Tilting sideways of course! Although, that would be cool if you could make them go backwards (mine can actually tilt backwards, but not 360, I think only 90; could have been 180).
