To the sony pvm 2730 or 2950qm? Thanks

There's not much info about this model on google, only some stuff about a guy having trouble getting RGB into it as he doesn't have the pinout for the 9-pin RGB connector or something.

That same post mentions a tally lamp though, which points to it being a 19"/20" production or broadcast monitor, so smaller than the 2730/2530. It will probably have higher TVL though - think finer dot-pitch, or how clear and scanlined the image will be. On the other hand it'll be shadowmask or slotmask, which means less distinct scanlines than an aperture grille tube. I personally think shadowmask tubes are nicer, but that's me.

Barco have a great rep for making great high-end monitors and AV gear however. If it's in ok condition and is going for about US$150-200 it'd definitely be worth looking at.
