Dinosaur LCDs

I'm wondering who else has absolutely ancient LCD/TFT montiors.
I'm sat here with my Iiyama Prolite E431S which I bought in 2004 so is due to celebrate it's 20th year!

Colours are a bit muted, but text is still very clear.

Not in regular/main use but I've still got a 14" LCD/TFT (Proview CY-465) which was amongst the early ones when consumers started adopting them, which gets used with older systems now and again. I chucked out most of the rest, otherwise the oldest I've still got I think is the Samsung 2233RZ.

I think it was 2004 I got my Samsung 913n, still working fine. That is connected to our media server, not needed much these days.

I have an older LCD, in the loft tucked away with my NVR. I might get to check that out at some point.

Just found one of these while clearing out the loft. Would like to to know if it still works but unsurprisingly don't have anything with VGA or DVI out.

Still rocking an NEC 24WMGX3 from 2008 or so. Works fine!

Still using Benq G2420HDBL (2010), Dell U2311h (2009) Samsung 215TW (2006).

Not as my main screens but the Dell is a 3rd screen on my main pc, benq is on an old PC and the 215TW is used for some old consoles because it has composite/component/s-video which wasn’t that common on monitors
