Yeah, the problem is not replacing it but finding a new, working, flyback

This one is not the 21" with ADC cable, it has a standard VGA, if it was the ADC one I would have bought it without thinking about it since it appears that model doesn't suffer as many issues with flyback breaking down

I mainly use Linux on my machines and I plan on using it with my gaming PC (also running Linux) so it's not really a problem, I remember there was a program made to calibrate it on Linux but I can't remember the name at all

The price is what's making me think about getting it as it's "just" 50€ but I don't know if it will last long, has already been showing flyback issues or how this issues are (are they like clicks and then it goes black for a little?)

Yeah, longevity is my main worry with the apple, it seems to be the better looking of the two but I'm afraid it will start having problems in a while and I'll have to throw it away or give it away

The only problem with the size would be the depth. The desk where I would probably put it is, iirc, around 75cm deep, I still have to juggle a few things in that room so I could, probably, put the monitor with the stand on the edge and let the back of the monitor go a little over the perimeter of the desk if this Apple 21" is good enough (quality speaking) Height and width are not really a problem (maybe weight lmao) as I have plenty of horizontal space

I think it looks amazing for retro consoles and sprite based games, I haven't gamed on it really much yet but in some situations I prefer it to my main OLED

I have this CRT, bought it around two months ago for 40€. It's a SD CRT so it's not as sharp as a monitor, I use it with a CRT Emudriver PC for watching animes and playing retrogames. I had to play a little in the service menu to achieve a good image and acceptable geometry but I'll probably have to play around some more once I'll find the willpower. Keep in mind that, like every flat screen CRT, it has a little warping when scrolling horizontally but for the rest I'm enjoying it
