Title: Brand new MAG 16" CRT Monitors - Aussie Guinea Pig's wanted!
Post by: djos on July 08, 2013, 01:15:41 PM
Hey fellow Aussies, I stumbled these brand new MAG AH778 16" CRT monitors on FleaBay for $29 + $49 shipping - anyone wanna be the first guinea pig and try one with a miggy?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Brand-New-CRT-Arcade-Game-monitor-4-3-replacement-screen-/290923917662?pt=AU_comp_monitor&hash=item43bc6ab15e&_uhb=1

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f98/E-Computer-Wholesale/Display/CRT/CRT-1.jpg)

The specs (http://apacelli.com/monitors-mag/mag-ah778/) say the usual 30-71kHz horizontal but Im under the impression multi-sync CRT's will frequently run odd sync rates anyway.

It's be great if some one could test one with a db23-db15 amiga-vga adapter as the seller seems to have quite a few in stock (http://stores.ebay.com.au/e-Computer-Wholesale/_i.html?_nkw=crt&submit=Search&_sid=166693699).

I might get one just to have retro unit. If you can wait two weeks, so I don't have to pay the $49 postage.

p.s. Thanks for finding them.

They also have a website: http://www.ecomputerwholesale.com.au (http://www.ecomputerwholesale.com.au)

Did anyone end up buying one of these? Any comments? I'm looking for a CRT at the moment.

Doesnt look like it, I've got a Sony PVM14M2E on order instead as it'll be great for all my retro gear (Supports RGBS, S-Video and Composite).
