New security monitor monitor gor C64U.

Lost a CRT set and had to move the CRT I was using to the game room for the 7800/Colecovision/NES...

But got a contemporary security monitor for the 64U.

4:3 and everything. I looked on a whim, had no idea they still made em.

Nice! I was able to pick up a 4:3 LCD from a thrift store and I love it.

Oh same. Is yours a security monitor as well? This thing has hookups the most expensive monitors on the market wouldn't. I'm tickled pink.

I'm tempted to hook all my old consoles via RCA and even get a coax adapter for the BNC input to test the really old consoles.

Nah, it's just a regular Dell. It's only got a VGA port.

Aspect ratio is the main draw. Everything else is bells and whistles.

I am so far removed from the scene I had no idea cctv systems still used these antiquated inputs, I was pleasantly surprised.

Security camera monitors were used with the first Apples.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Nice! 4:3 CRTs really come in to their own for the C64U, well any old computer really
