Will do have to wait for the BNC adapters to arrive.

And yea both speakers in great shape. The remote still had plastic on it.

That is just freakin awesome! Very nice find!

Great score, it's an awesome monitor!

 

[Montatez]

Needs some fine tuning and am only using the BNC to composite but it looks AMAZING!

I am so excited i love this thing so much.
I'll mess aroumd with the settings when I get a day off.

It's a beast right?

It's a beast right?

Absolutely. I lifted it of the vehicle but could not step up the curb without help. Too awkward and bulky pry around 150 lbs. Last owner said more but whos counting.

Great find - pictures look amazing! How large is the screen?

Its 32 inches of pure orgasmic pleasure. Very happy with it so far.

really nice man. I couldn't fit it into our flat I think, but I still wouldn't hesitate to pick one up if I had the chance

Looks like a great monitor to TATE, too, if you forget for a moment how heavy it is.

Whoa, a 3230! Very cool. I still need to see one of those in real life. I heard they were more like 200lbs. My old 2530's were like 120lbs and yours is like a 7 inch bigger screen!

Yea its heavy for sure. Very heavy. Well worth it though, I doubt it will move from that spot for at least a few years.

The owner's manual says it's 84kg (185 lb 3 oz). It definitely feels that heavy lol.

Oh, the joys of owning heavy CRT sets. That's what I'm least looking forward to when it comes time to move, having to move all those darn things.

Last time I moved I added the approximate weight of all my CRTs... counting cabs, PVMs, and PC monitors, it was about 1000 lbs.

Is there any quality differences between 20L2MD and the 20M2MDU other than the expansion ports on the back of 20L2MD? Seems to be much less information about this monitor out there.

Possibly later manufacture date.
Different OSD, and internal design.

It may use different phosphors in comparison to the M2s, but I'm not sure about that.

Other than that, they should be quite comparable in terms of picture quality, assuming similar condition/wear/etc.

I don't know... is it?

That is what I thinking too, thank you!

This I did not anticipate. Not good, and reliability rather questionable. I'm at a loss, maybe this adage is better kept to hardware?

You people need to lift some weight.
A 200lbs. plus tv should be easy for a normal guy
