Mitsubishi Diamondtron or Sony Trinitron. That’s where the good stuff was.

    iirc Silicon Graphics crts were actually trinitrons after 92-3. of course a 21" crt weighed fuck all lol

    Weight aside, those took a lot of space too. Almost every CRT from that era was put in a desk corner, swivelled sideways, forcing you to turn sideways too - and many of those were 15-17". Now imagine 21...

    at one point I had a 17" (no name) and a 21" view sonic on the same desk bench, connected to a dual p2 (tyan mobo) machine I built running windows 2000, the first os I used that supported multiple monitors. our engineer custom designed the benches out of steel square tubing and laminate wood, they were great.
