Sony Trinitron Multisync G220

[BigO]

Local pickup only @ north central Phoenix, AZ, or might be talked into meeting near-ish ASU.

 

In good cosmetic condition beneath the dust.

 

Worked when put on the shelf x years ago. I can still test if anybody is seriously interested.

Anyone?

Too bad you are in AZ.  That is a helluva schlep for me, and that is a nice looking monitor.  I found some specs which say it is 30kHz to 96kHz; is that accurate?

[BigO]

I was never a monitor geek so I don't know how to answer that. I bought it because it was cheap, new, in shop-worn packaging from a surplus business down the street from where I worked. It was a great monitor except I could never unsee the two horizontal lines that are apparently characteristic of a Trinitron. It's been sitting for years and i now need the extra shelf space to store a new tool i recently bought.

 

I recall that it did go to a pretty high resolution but don't know that I ever had a video card that would take it to its max performance. 

 

I assume that your horizontal scan rate question would be answered by a specific resolution and refresh rate combination.

It's higher than that. I have one of the 19" Dells with the Trinitron. Played Fallout 3 1600 * 1200 at 85hz. around ten years ago.

Probably still the best looking monitor I've ever used.

If was in the area, I'd grab it in a heartbeat.

The 30kHz floor means no native support for devices like Amiga or Atari ST which output 15kHz signals.  Cuts that out of the usage equation, but these Trinitron monitors are fantastic monitors for anything you use them with and I hope someone grabs it.

Last chance.

You should try posting on ebay or classifieds. These monitors command wild prices these days (200-500USD) and are much sought after, so if you put a lower one on somebody might travel far to get it.

I wish I was closer, I'd grab it for sure!

I have a 29 inch NEC multi sync XM29 plus. I also have 2 Trinitrons 27 and 36 inches, that I use as well.  I like them a lot with my older consoles.  If i was close I would take it as well. You should keep it, if you have older game consoles.

[BigO]

It's a VGA PC monitor and I'm pretty much done with hoarding old PC stuff.

 

I do have a 19" Trinitron TV that I'm keeping around for the old game consoles. My daily driver TV for old consoles is a 32" CRT. I wish it was a Trinitron but my back is too old to tote one of those up and/or down stairs now. I carried the monster 32" (at least 700 lbs I'm sure) up myself 10 years ago. I may have to just drag it out on the deck and ]push it off when it dies.

 

Of various sizes, I have at least half a dozen CRT TVs stashed around just in case.

 

On 2600 I like Circus and Kaboom. Digital TVs just have too much lag to play those paddle twitch games on.

Lol, it'd probably make the house collapse or something.

 

I also can't really lug anything bigger than 21" myself, but negotiating with sellers often does wonders. Last big 29" Trinitron I got, the guys who sold it (plus another small one) to me for ~40USD were so happy that they carried it up to the 2nd floor themselves.

 

I also once just hired a moving van with two young big geezers to do the legwork. The TV in question was nearly free - and awesome - so it was a good deal anyway.
