Sharing SONY pvm-9041qm

A 9-inch color monitor was sold to me by a divorced woman. She wanted to sell all the vintage gaming items that her ex-husband had collected to me. Including the shipping cost, I only spent 40 US dollars.

That’s in line with the time I picked up a Sony 2730 for $9 from a tip shop because “the screen rolls”.

V-hold is hard kids 😂

That’s an amazing monitor and absolutely brilliant for retro gaming! That must have been one heck of a sour divorce 😂

The only downside is that it is a 9in screen no matter how good it looks you have to sit like 1ft away from it.... 🤣

Best 12in you ever sat at staring at 9inches! Lmao

But really nice score... msrp on those was way far above what you paid for it

I have a 29-inch CRT TV from Samsung with a built-in SCART interface. It's very heavy and large. The small color monitor is only used for testing.
