Probably an ideal display for a retro gamer with an original xbox.

PC monitor, with good speakers.

I'd get it, but we're in Nth. NSW ATM, going home via Wellington-Wagga. Need any scans along the way? :lol:

I think most people expect better than 1366x768 resolution for monitors these days. Also, the screen is always upright, which isn't really great as a PC monitor.

Would work OK for me. My wife's monitor is an ex-caravan TV that stopped receiving remote inputs. It's on a non-tilt arm in the bookroom (can't call it library, but it's where all our books are). 1366x768, but it's only 19", so you wouldn't notice FHD difference anyway. I've offered her an upgrade, actually buying a new one, but she says it's fine. I still have a 4:3 monitor attached to running PC! Remote access though. :lol:

I ran a 26" Philips TV as a PC monitor for many years, also bolt upright on a non-tilt stand. It expired about a year ago and I replaced it with a more "modern" Philips PC monitor which while it tilts and has a quite nice screen, and can be connected by HDMI even, the built-in speakers make an atrocious tinny noise compared to my old TV. I miss that audio, the sort of quality that consumers would have come to expect from built-in speakers in a TV.

I meant that hers is 19", as well as 1366x768.

I've never claimed to do punctuation properly.
