You did great, my friend. That is a top tier CRT monitor and hard to find in good condition these days. Do NOT let some idiot try to tell you it's not good for muh retro muh 240p because they have a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge on the subject. And of course it will be superb for games that support high resolution and frame rates.

Throw some modern games on there that support 4:3 ratio or can be modded/hacked to do so. I have played modded Dark Souls 3 on a monitor like that in 1600x1200 and it was the superior way to play the game with the extra vertical space provided by 4:3.

I got a new CRT. It's a Sony HMD-A440. I believe these were sold with Sony VAIO desktop PCs. It is a consumer-grade CRT monitor.

But, it can display up to 2048x1536@75hz, so that's pretty good. And it has basic digital convergence and the usual assortment of OSD controls. And it has excellent contrast. No foggy blacks like you'd see on the more expensive Sony CRTs that get that voltage problem.

Paid $8 for it at a flea market. The screen is only 18.5" visible, so really no point in running 2048x1536. I'll stick to 1600x1200@100hz.

Kind of fun to run modern PC games on this.
