Faux-CRT monitor designed to pair up with retro mini PCs to recreate CRT feeling — cute 8-incher puts retro design first by shoving a 60 Hz LCD panel behind a curved acrylic sheet (www.tomshardware.com)

They built something like this for an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s 1980s computer paintings some years ago. They wanted to show the art on Amiga 1000s like the one he used, but both the computers and their CRT monitors were too flaky to manage, so they put a Raspberry Pi running an emulator in an Amiga case. For the display, they took the case of an Amiga monitor and mounted a OLED panel behind an acrylic sheet.
