Some time ago I came into contact with a very interesting profile for those who like the history of Sony and its impact on the technology market. Legacy that definitely goes far beyond the PlayStation. This profile, the Obsolote Sonyfrequently shares remarkable products about the history of the Japanese giant, a review of important launches throughout the company’s history of more than 70 years.
As expected, mentions of PlayStation happen all the time, recalling special editions of some PSs, or just showing images that can instantly awaken a high dose of nostalgia.
This is the case of an image posted yesterday on the profile. A very simple corner with an old Sony monitor, with the iconic home screen Final Fantasy VIIIwith the PS1 fat next to it. This image has been circulating around the internet for a few years now, and whenever it is rescued it causes good feelings.
Images like these make any retrogaming aficionado salivate. There is a whole culture, disseminated by discussion groups around the world, around the exaltation of different models of CRT screens for those who want a truly immersive experience to enjoy old games. The screen in question that appears in the image is the model KX-14CP1, of the series Triniton yes sony.
Launched in 1986, this 14-inch monitor was designed to be used with the MSX standard microcomputers that Sony was putting on the market at the time. Speaking of MSX, Sony has, in my humble opinion, the most beautiful version of MSX ever. Hi-Bit 101, released in 1984.
Below you can see this monitor together with the computer HB-F700Scompatible with the MSX standard.

Screens like these have been gaining a new life in the hands of retrogaming aficionados. The dream of many in this universe is to be able to enjoy their old and legendary games on a Sony RGB monitor from its popular BVM, or PVM, series. Sizes range from 14 to 20 inches, although it is also possible to find models measuring 32 inches. Screens like this handle 480i resolution. Some options can even reach 1080i, such as the PVM-14L5 and PVM-20L5.
Some models are even more curious, like the 9-inch Sony EVM-9010. This monitor has a Video 8 standard video player and tape recorder, positioned above the screen housing.

These monitors were a guaranteed presence in video and television production studios between the 1980s and 2000s, due to their ability to display accurate colors and excellent image quality, especially in analogue content. Below you can see images of one of these screens, from Sony’s HR series, running Metal Slug. .
In this Reddit post, a user celebrates the fact that they purchased a 13-inch HR series screen. “I grew up playing all my consoles (SNES, PlayStation, etc.) on a Commodore 1702 monitor, so I have a fondness for the look of monitors compared to consumer TVs,” says the author of the post.
