Ian's Retro Museum
Retro Displays

A look at the CRT and LCD displays I have

Maybe you didn't have to wait until Coronation Street was finished before you could fire up Manic Miner

Some of us were lucky enough to have our own TV in our room, it may have been black and white with a set top aerial, but it was ours, and we had control of it

If you were posh, you had a colour set!

I started with a 19 inch Black and White TV with rotary tuning to use with a Binatone PONG console, then my Commodore Plus 4, before I upgraded to an old 22 inch colour set with a dodgy volume control.

My Spectrum and Amiga years was with a 14 inch remote control set until I got the Philips monitor

There are 4 TV's and monitors in the museum

Apple Cinema Display



Spotted this on FB Marketplace being given away for free, but it was just dumped outside the house, so I had to move quick to go get it. It looked like it'll be a perfect match for my Apple Power Mac G4, but there's a problem with that thought

Ferguson 3840



I spotted this at another local car boot sale for £7, and in a moment of madness I decided I had to have it as I have no black and white TV's from the era, this will be mainly used for all the ZX81 and Pong machines I have

My Old Televisions



Here are some old, and sadly long-gone CRT televisions of mine I have used for watching TV and playing games in the past, also known as the good old days

Casio TV-100



I found my long lost pocket LCD TV, and it still works

The dark area

I hope you all find this as interesting and as nostalgic as I do.

And if you do, why not check out the next page in my retro museum... Handheld

Or to quicky jump to another room of the museum, click or tap on Rooms at the bottom of this screen

Special thanks to my long-suffering partner Denise for putting up with all this "nonsense".

No cats were unnecessarily annoyed during the creation of this site

Well, maybe Rose was unhappy for a few minutes with the lack of treats on offer because the human was busy writing the code for this site...



CATS!
