The smaller monitor is a bit special as it also supports 24khz input, and even has a digital rgb input, making it a very nice monitor for retro computers like pc88 and X1.

Other options for smaller monitors is something like this http://www.pasocomclub.co.jp/htmls/1800000008919-9.html, you could pair it with Selecty 21 for easy console usage.

In the end the biggest thing to consider is that if you are going to import cables from abroad you are going to end up spending a lot more money in the long term then just sticking to the local sources.

I personally use an arcade monitor mounted in a wooden box, which is typically the most expensive option but worth it for my uses.

It's always nice to learn about new crt sets.

That KV-14MD1 looks killer! I take it it's a consumer TV?

It was mostly sold in computer stores as the Sony brand MSX monitor iirc.

Cool. Those 8 bit computer monitors seem to be a nice source of good RGB CRTs

Here in North America it's mostly Commodore Vic 20/C64 ones that people look out for when it comes to 15kHz native CRT computer monitors. Although I'm sure there are many others
