My parents had a few so I grew up with Trinitrons. In fact I kept my parents Trinitron from the 80's - it had the matching wood grain stand with smoked black/gray glass magnetic doors. With marriage came the great purge lol and away it all went along with a flat screen Sony Trinitron I was gifted and used for TV (was replaced with a LCD tv). I used these crts not for computers but for retro gaming consoles. Absolutely flawless picture quality.
Anyhow, dems da breaks in love and war
Sounds like it might've been either a KV-2792R or 2775R... We had a 2792R that we bought new in 1988 from the old Fredrick & Nelson department store in Bellevue, Washington. Other than the solder joints going cold in the IF assembly twice (once in 1991, then again in 1998 or so), it was a decent TV. Used it as our main TV until late 2006, when we picked up a used KV-32XBR95 that needed a flyback transformer. Moved it to the master bedroom, where it resided until 2010, when the aforementioned 32" TV replaced it after that one was replaced by a 40" Wega flatscreen. By then, the 2792R's colors were a bit red... We also had a KV-13TR24 that my sister bought in 1991 for her own usage - first at her dorm, then at home when she moved back. Eventually, she replaced that with a 20" Wega in 2001 or so. I sometimes used either the 2792 or the 13TR24 with one of my Apple II machines back before I picked up a color monitor in 2001.
I personally have owned the aforementioned M1212 (plus two or three other examples), one or two M0401 AppleColor 13" RGB monitors, a Sony CPD-1304S (shown below), a couple CDM-17SE1 monitors, a GDM-20SE1, a CPD-20SF2, plus one of the graphite CRT Studio Displays that I picked up from a former client of mine in 2007 or so. Used that one with my second B&W G3 system. After that monitor blew up, I switched back to the CPD-20SF2, then eventually picked up a Viewsonic P95f, which was an inch smaller, but still was based on a Sony tube, using the Wega flatscreen technology. I eventually replaced the P95f with a P220f, which was nowhere near the quality. Think that one used a shadowmask tube. Then, picked up a 21" Mitsubishi monitor that was decent. Got close to the quality of a Trinitron tube, but obviously wasn't one, even though the monitor did look like it was made by Sony.
CPD-1304S with my old PowerMac 8500AV - forget the specs on that machine, tho...
