Purchased an Osborne MPV1024 monitor and it just works - Lemmy.World

Last week I made a post asking if I should buy an old vintage monitor. Well, I went back to the recycled goods store this week and it was still there, so $30 later I have it, and it seems to just work* There’s very little about this monitor on the internet, so I’m thinking of documenting as much as I can about it, especially as it’s Osborne branded so there could be some interesting history behind it. * The power button is stuck on, and it does an occasional unsettling arc sound and the image slightly distorts for a millisecond. I believe the latter is fairly common among old CRTs but I don’t know much more than that.
