I didn’t ask him, I just did the thing. Like hell, I got tired of some of the buttons randomly not working.

Now every button works perfectly, plus I did a little modding to make it work at a broader angle…

    That’s pretty rad. Didn’t know CRT monitors back then were capable of that resolution. Good luck finding a 00s HD CRT monitor for a decent price anymore though.

      That particular monitor was originally designed for a max resolution of 1280x1024 (also, by definition, high definition believe it or not).

      Later on, after I refurbished it, I studied the specs of the Horizontal Output Transistor, which apparently maxed out at 64KHz.

      I did some magic math and with the help of a programmable GPU, I successfully tried a custom 2048x1536 mode…

      That’s actually where my username comes from.
