Tomorrow I am going out to check out 5 of these monitors. All are priced at 109 each and supposedly in grade A condition.

Anyone with this monitor know the signs of aging for it?

I'm going to be checking the brightness/contrast settings to see if they are at the extremes. If they'll let me, I will also be checking the max band settings (2048x1536@75hz -- near max band, 1600x1200@105hz -- near max horizontal freq).

Anything else anyone can think of that I can check?

Does anyone happen to know the hr lifetime of these? 10k-20k?

I'm going to ask them what they've used them for.

My CTX PL9 is starting to age, but it also has a lot of use -- the bandwidth and horizontal frequencies are still performing to max, but it shakes and shows visible scanning in 2d sometimes.

Thanks
 
Look at the corners and sides for convergence issues. I had a refurbished one and it was horrible compared to a decent one.
 
Thanks for the tip -- I am now taking a few more tools, since the convergence test reminded me of some other ones I can do.
 
Also look for a washed out picture, these models are notorious for developing poor black levels over time (black looks grey even with monitor brightness on 0) .. But apparently its fixable by replacing a certain Resistor as shown here. The website mentions P1110 but it applies to the P1130 as well.
 
Interesting link, JRW. The wash out was what I was refering to when I said checking the contrast/brightness settings.
I got two for 200, and they are both decent. One has a slight convergence problem in a small area in the bottom left, and the other has slightly more noticeable "wires" than a brand new aperture grille montor would. The guy had 5 and the other 3 were alright but had more pronounced problems in convergence or clarity.

1280x960 @ 120 is pretty cool 🙂
 
I have a question now, and the topic says p1130.
Does anyone know why I can't use frequencies like 110 105 80 90 130, or, more blatently, 119? When I set the frequencies in the registry, it disables the resolution in display settings regardless of whether the monitor is able to run it or not. For instance, if I tried something like 1024x768 @ 84, 89, it would take away that resolution. Why is that? Are monitors unable to run at certain frequencies, period?
Is there no possibility for 1280x960 @ 125 or 130?
 
P1130 specs

The video card issues the refresh signals, thus controlling the refresh rate. Thus, the video card has to match the monitor, so the two units can interface with a suitable electronic signal.

So even if monitor supports a given rate the video card may not, or visa versa. The higher the resolution the more restricted the refresh rate to prevent overload.
