QuoteCRT monitors have surged back to relevance on a wave of nostalgia, driven by the exploding popularity of retro gaming.

Hers was an early flat screen --I'm guessing over 10-12 years old. Afaik, I don't have any crts still in my hoard.  I did, however, have an old Dell flat screen w/ vga and had her going in 15 minutes.
