| Should I get AppleVision 750av Display? | |
| Posted by: slomacuser on 2025-03-12 07:33:10 (1) - yes absolutely (2) - no, the plastics crack on these (3) - only if you can get it for 150 $ or less (4) - other ...   | |
| Posted by: Unknown_K on 2025-03-12 07:58:25 1280x1024@75 Hrz is decent for a CRT. People have preferences and I stick to Sony Trinitrons but have shadow mask monitors as well. Do you really want it at the price and condition available is a question only you can decide. | |

| Posted by: slomacuser on 2025-03-12 10:35:55 I can pick it up. Around 100 km one way. | |
| Posted by: finkmac on 2025-03-12 10:36:30 not the worst, but better if you pick up other stuff on the same trip | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2025-03-12 14:07:49 If working well you can assume it had the recall parts put in many years ago. Very big and hard to store on a shelf if not used (I’ve one merged from two bad; it sits on a removalist dolly when not used) | |
| Posted by: croissantking on 2025-03-12 14:57:01 My vote is (1) yes absolutely. | |
| Posted by: beachycove on 2025-03-12 16:44:47 Well, I’ve had three of these/ the ColorSync fail on me, and that was starting maybe 15 years ago. If you are good with a soldering iron, maybe; if not, I’d pass — having said which, the CRT is excellent, if and when it works. | |
| Posted by: Durosity on 2025-03-13 05:41:32 Tape it to your head and walk around using it as a VR headset and tell people it’s the original AppleVision prototype! | |
| Posted by: ClassicGuyPhilly on 2025-03-13 08:20:25 I'd do it if I were able to...always loved those monitors! | |

Posted by: croissantking on 2025-03-13 10:29:32Yes hard to storeBetter than the 850AV | |
| Posted by: Hopfenholz on 2025-03-13 11:13:26 When I arrived at University in 1995 (Bristol, UK) with my trusty PowerBook 100, there was a guy 3 doors down in the hall of residence, US student, whose dad was the president of the world bank. He rocked up with a brand new PowerMac 8600/250 with this display (or it may have been the earlier version badged 1710AV). Twas a thing of beauty, we used to gather in his room every night to play with it. | |
