Dell P1130 21" CRT Monitor


Recommended Posts

This is my first review. I don?t know much about monitors but do I need to know much? The answer is no. I don?t need to know anything all I need to know is that it looks clear and that its big.

The monitor has a shipping weight of 70lbs, most of it packing material. However I cannot show the packing material because it would not fit in my car. The monitor is a ?off lease monitor that I picked up for around $260cnd, not bad for a 21? flat screen CRT. The screen is very pleasing to the eye, no dead pixels and no scratches. But I bet your wondering why did he buy used and why didn?t he buy LCD. Well A) I can?t afford an LCD monitor being 14 years of age, and B) I liked the look of this monitor, it dwarfs my 17? CRT?

The monitor is very pleasing to the eye while watching DVD?s. It may seem odd at first sitting to close to a monitor while watching a DVD. But it really isn?t that hard to see anything.

Yes the monitor may go back 19.8? but that?s just about an inch more then my old 17? monitor. So it really doesn?t take up to much desk space.

The coolest feature of the CRT is it has dual display inputs for two computers. Its kind of like on onboard KVM but with out the K and the M. To switch back and forth between the two inputs you just have to push a button located next to the power button.

There are two little lines that go across the screen, but apparently this isn?t a defect but it isn?t noticeable until you try to look for them. How ever with the rest of the monitors how can two barley noticeable lines ruin the over all rating of the monitor? It doesn?t. This monitor had met my needs and it will do so until it dies on me at which point I will buy another one. I give it 10/10. No I?m not being to nice with the rating out of ten, it is the biggest monitor that I have had and it is also the best monitor that I have ever had. Do I recommend this monitor? Yes I wouldn?t buy something I wouldn?t recommend to one of my friends or family.

My college had some of those in 19". The two lines are typical of all trinitron tube monitors. I personally can't stand them. :)

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. I remember when I got my 21" Viewsonic for 200 US shipped. I'm starting to lean towards LCD if I can ever justify the cost. :)

I've got almost the same one, mine is biege. I got it off lease for $95.00 and it still had 15 months on the warranty, also got two 20", one almost new when a customer bought two LCD's from work and said what will you give for my crts. I told him used about $50.00 apiece and he said ok. I almost fell out but paid him real quick before he changed his mind. Made my daughter and wife real happy as they had 17s.

I bought one of the P1130 beauties but the HP Silver version :D for ?65:rofl::

I'm VERY happy with it.

It was used for about a year and has been in storage ever since in anti-static wrap. Its immaculate with no scratches anywhere.

Manufacture date is Feb 2003 so its still under HP's 3 year warranty:laugh::

I hate to bring something back from the grave, but...

I may be able to pick up one of these tonight for dirt cheap. It's more screen space then my 17" LCD provides and a lot cheaper then upgrading to a larger LCD.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
