an old display in the woods - Lemmy.World

It looks brand new. What’s the story here?
Ya if it was old it’d be piss yellow from sun damage and way dirtier, probably with a few bullet holes if it was left outside.

It was outside my dad’s house - It turns out he found it with some old tech in his house and pit it out there hoping someone would take it.

I took it the next time I came.

Some of those monitors are now worth quite a bit.
Old Hyama 4:3 ratio 560p 30hz. Literally e-waste.
Donate it to a library, they’ll probably be ecstatic to have such advanced technology.

It’s iiyama, looks to be in great condition. Some sell for hundreds of pounds:

I've also got it to run at 240p with custom resolutions and Retroarch. Also I use this via a Tendak HDMI to VGA adapter which I will include. Its highest rated one if you go look on REDDIT. I also had the CRT updated at by the wonderful people at Mullard Repairs in South London.

What you posted is CRT not LCD panel
Thought it was a flat panel from that era, if it’s a high quality CRT yeah those can be pricey due to low input lag and high refresh rate.
Oh, you’re likely right then. I assumed it was a big CRT.
Bet it still works. We have one like that too, and had at least 2 computers using the display die before it. Still going strong
Nice - I didn’t have a VGA cable handy but I took it with me and will try when I get my hands on one
Very nice! I’m not sure if there’s an on screen menu, but maybe try the bottom buttons if you get a picture.
Hey! I got around to test it with a VGA cable and it fucking works! Watched a Seinfeld episode on it.
Hah! I knew it!
What part of Jurassic Park are you in rn?

in the woods

literally in front of a fence, which is not a natural formation in such a location (someone must have built it, so it must lead somewhere)

An altar of ancient origin. They say when the lightning strikes and it brightens, they acted like doors, or rather windows to the universe.
Looks like it got some speakers and USB ports too!
Are you playing the talos principle?
What’s that?

A great puzzle game with terminals often found in woods or other outdoors locations. Like so:
