/vr/ - Retro Games

Just for fun let's talk about some ebay CRTs. Just to keep the conversation going.

First one: This Barco 12" medical monitor, intended for use with an ultrasound machine.

Barco has a reputation for making some of the best CRT projectors in the world. I would assume a medical monitor produced by them would built to the very highest standard.

Input appears to be a 5-pin connector similar to what you would find on a computer motherboard, but that should be no issue to adapt.

This thing is probably not 15khz or even 31khz. It's probably a fixed frequency high resolution monitor, maybe XGA aka 1024x768.

Good for /vr/? Depends on what you're doing and how you feel about different topics. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use it in a cocktail mini-arcade cabinet. But it may be better for /v/ gaming and playing indie games in that form factor.
