Through the 80's and up into the early (Lasnerian) 90's, it was common
to see monochrome video displays with *long* decay-time phosphors. As
in hundreds of milliseconds, enough such that if you were a quick typist
the cursor block left a very distinct trail going back a good fraction of a
line :-)
Does anyone know the designation (as in "P3" or "P25") of these
long-lived
green and yellow phosphors that were commonly used on IBM PC and PC-clone
monochrome displays? Even better, anyone know of a source (new or used,
preferably NTSC or Monochrome SVGA) for such monitors?
