Nice monitor, I think my mom had that one when I was growing up. Does it go up to 1600x1200? I think that was the resolution her monitor had. I think it was also an aperture grille instead of a shadow mask.
Mine was a basic-bitch beige shadow mask tube (which, amusingly, now tend to be worth more than a lot of the last generation mid-range CRTs despite being lower quality). I managed to find one on eBay in decent condition after a year or two of searching, so now it’s sitting in my room. My next CRT might be one like yours.
Edit: I wish someone could come up with an inexpensive way of manufacturing small quantities of CRTs. There aren’t any new CRTs and likely won’t be due to the cost and complexity of the tubes. All the “new” ones are actually low-use tubes in new shells.
Edit 2: sorry if this came off as “haha, my mom had that monitor”. I meant it like, “oh cool! I think that’s the same model my mom had!”
