Sony G520 CRT monitor - what's it worth?

    I have a Sony G520 20" CRT which I bought for silly money when I worked in graphic design and which has been sitting here idle for a good few years.

    Superb colours and none of the horrible banding in gradients that you get on most LCD panels. Naturally text is a little soft compared with LCD.

    Is there still a market for them and is it worth anything at this stage?

    Medium or high-end CRTs still have a small cult following among enthusiasts because they outperform LCD in most areas.

    The Sony FW900 is still reasonably sought after. Your G520 would be less sought after due to the aspect ratio.

    Some people into retro console gaming may also be interested in it, it would be ideal for retro emulation.

    Realistically it won't be worth a lot of money. But someone will be interested in it due to the quality being higher than the typical CRTs that get given away for free.
