I've been looking around for a monitor and have been offered this thing.
It's a sony BVM-A20F1M with two cards: 68x and 61d
It has 20k hours of use.
It's going for 500€ (roughly USD 520).
Price seems a bit steep, but the 68x is apparently rare so I don't really know if it's a reasonable price.
********** UPDATE ****************
I decided to keep the unit. A couple of guys were interested in the 68x but the seller doesn't have any more units.
sorry!!
**********************************
Also 2 technical quesions:
1. Is this monitor recommended for 8 and 16 bit systems?
(Nes, snes, pc engine, neo geo, etc)
All these will output RGB, not interested in s-video/composite.
2. What about more modern systems?
The included 61d card it can apparently support higher resolutions, so maybe it'd also work with dreamcast, n64, gamecube, saturn, ps2 at its full resolutions.
This would sweeten the deal a little bit, but I'm not sure if it'd work.
Here's the manual for the 61D if anyone can make sense out of it.

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
