Hello!

I came across a cosmetically good condition CRT monitor at the local recycled goods shop, but I can’t seem to find much information about it.

It is an Osborne MPV 1024 14" CRT monitor. I was able to find a manual for it on the Internet Archive, and an old forum question about using it with a then new Windows 95 machine, but that’s about it.

The thing that confuses me though is that I wasn’t aware of Osborne making individual computer monitors, or peripherals of any kind. I also don’t seem to see anyone online talking about these monitors.

I want to find out if it’s rare or otherwise special in some way, or if it’s just a generic CRT monitor of the 80s/90s that just reused the Osborne branding.
