adamchevy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have been looking at buying a Sony Bvm-20E1U or PVM-20L5. Its hard to pull the trigger on an old 20" CRT that costs 500$ or more. Do they make that much of a difference ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolescent Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't have the model you're looking for but I would say yes, the PVM are worth it . Really good picture, loads of inputs, etc. I would say keep watching for a cheaper one to become available. I got my PVM-2959Q for $140 and I've seen them cheaper since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolescent Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Doh. Looks like the 20L5 is a much more capable monitor. Sorry for not adding any value to your thread. I would still hold out for something cheaper. Keep in mind that these monitors are near 10 years old. (Mine is more like 15.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me hope that I might find one for less than the ridiculous eBay prices I'm seeing right now. Also, that I'm not crazy for wanting one of these old CRTs .

fibrewire Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I appreciate your comments! It gives me hope that I might find one for less than the ridiculous eBay prices I'm seeing right now. Also, that I'm not crazy for wanting one of these old CRTs .Why not just get a nice Sony consumer HDTV with super fine pitch? Even the normal Sony televisions at the end of the CRT era were exceptionally nice. Take a look at this list ranging from nicest to basic. Either way, you're getting a nice Trinitron CRT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FD_Trinitron/WEGA Edited July 19, 2014 by fibrewire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
