<div dir="auto">I went on a similar quest several years back to get 17”Sun CRT that shipped with the IPX. Finally saw one pop up on EBay after many years. I think CRT’s are super hard to find as most were recycled due to their fixed frequency and therefore lack of ability to work PC’s.<br />
<br />
I would love to have 20” that shipped with SS5 era machine.<br />
<br />
Good luck in your hunt!</div>

I've collected Sun machines for a very long time now, and still use them regularly.<br />
<br />
One thing I like to do is assemble systems with appropriate monitors/keyboards where I can. So if I'm using an Sparcstation 20 I like to have the keyboard/mouse and CRT monitor that would have been around a the time.<br />
<br />
If I'm using a Sun Blade 2000 then I will go with a Sun LCD monitor of the time.<br />
<br />
I wonder if anyone else does this - or do you go with newer LCD screens for convenience? As I used these systems commercially back in the 90s and 00s, and even as late as the 10s, I get more of the 'ambience' of the time if I'm using a CRT say rather than a 4K monitor 'scaling' the video on a 32" screen :)<br />
<br />
One system I'd like to recreate is an Ultra 45 with what I believe would have been the monitor at the time - aka the 365-1434, a 24.1" LCD monitor which had two legs at each end of the monitor. It was probably unusual at the time as most monitors have just the central stand.<br />
<br />
These for whatever reason are hard to find in the UK, and the systems I see in the US are often cheap (<$100) but require a big spend on postage (aka $200) which together with import duty which will be added on all that makes it ridiculous.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know a source for these in the UK? I've seen a few from time to time.<br />
<br />
Just FYI - I've started putting together some photographs of systems with matching monitors/keyboards etc and will probably upload them somewhere if anyone is interested.<br />
