I have a big heavy 20 year old Trinitron monitor which I still drag out and use from time to time for the simple reason that it continues to outlast every modern screen I've bought to replace it.
It can do 1600x1200, though I run it at 1280x1024 as my eyes aren't what they were when I acquired it second-hand for $50 so many years ago - yet I can still hear the mosquito buzz when its not plugged into anything so maybe I'm not completely old yet?
Its days are numbered now, not because of the electrics but because the plastic casing is getting very brittle and cracked. I can see there will come a day it won't survive the short walk back to my storeroom.
That reminds me of working with my Dad as a kid who's senses were pretty much shot from years of working on heavy mechanical equipment. He asked me to do smell/listening tests when he fired up one of his repair projects.
