Re: Repurposing a 2004 Athlon 64 system in 2021
17" shadowmask (Samsung CRT, IIRC, pretty solid colors and has held up well over the years) and a 17" Diamondtron CRT, which has excellent color quality. It's from a November 1999 batch of monitors whose CRTs don't seem to have been aged at the factory, leading to the entire picture turning a sickly green as the guns age. I went into the service menu a while back and reset the gun gain and gun drive settings to bring it back to page whites and true blacks.
I feel you on the LCDs. Only spare video adapters that I've got are a couple of DVI-A to VGA adapters, and one doesn't like to work half the time.
