Buying a CRT

by Felix • 16 Jul 2008, 22:58 • Journals
Hello

after years of getting annoyed by my old monitor which is actually dieing at the moment i decided to go for a new one and eventually also decided that i'd like to buy the
iiyama vision master pro 454

Now i wonder myself where i can actually buy it?
I tried to google for some sellers in Germany or NeighbourCountries that sent them to Germany but failed horribly.

So i need some help.
Anyone knows where i can find a seller for the iiyama vision master pro 454 ?

Better to go to the nearest shop and buy a random monitor that you like there. Easier !

add another 50 and pay the transport costs and it's yours. I bought it for 400 5 years ago and it's working like a charm.

Post officer workers looked at me very strangely when I carried a 100kg server into the office. Unfortunately they said that post office can't handle packages that heavy and I had to carry it back :(

eBay. It's not produced anymore since several years.

Got 2 of them from eBay so far. One died after another 1,5 years and the newer one is still running without any problems.

Edit: Both were about 60-70€ + 15€ shipping.

That would be my last hope if i dont find anythink here.
But there is only one to get at ebay atm :<

How much did you pay for them ?

yeah, i tricked myself into believing the whole "oh, its not that bad" bullshit and played with an LCD for ~6 months.

I got bored one day and plugged in my "average" CRT and its so much more responsive, instantly tracking becomes so much easier

playing on an LCD is like playing underwater compared to a CRT

i dont care if its the future, games like cod4 and etqw are also "the future" and they're shit, just like lcd.

i drove across the country for a dell p1130 (21" CRT, can handle 170hz@800x600, 120hz@1280x960) and it was so totally worth it

monitor cost £25, fuel probably cost ~ £15-£20

couldn't find a 454 close enough though :(
