#LGR Oddware - 5.25" #DriveBay #CRT #Monitor from 1997
This is the STS Tecom CKS-05V from 1997, a 5-inch #amber #monochrome #VGA #CRT #monitor that fits into three #PC #drive #bays! And it is a delight to use with both retro games and modern software. Surprisingly sharp image and that beautiful orange glow, ah, just a fantastic oddity.
Today I had to give two different presentations in two entirely different places, neither of which had an #HDMI connection, which is the only #video output I have on my #laptop. Both still had #VGA, which is pretty ancient these days. Luckily, a few years ago, I bought an HMDI-to-VGA #adaptor but initially I had difficulty with using it, perhaps because of lack of full support in #KDE. Colours were sometimes different or flashed or gave some odd artefacts on the projected image. Happily, now things have been sorted out and everything worked really well. I was also using an extra #touchscreen and an #HDMI duplicator to send the signal to two outputs at once. Thanks to all the #FreeSoftware hackers who made this possible.
