    just old enough to have a vga port. perfect; pick it here before it grows any further and no longer supports every server ever made.

    You want the monitor to be firm, but give a little in your hands when you squeeze. Too much squish though? That’s no good. That monitor is overripe.

      The color is important too however. Just enough beige white, once it crosses into yellow they are no good.

      I still have two 19" CRTs stockpiled in my basement in case I ever decide to build a retro arcade cabinet and want authenticity.
