That?s the famously heavy Trinitron-powered VRT19, the one that was on my hallway floor
when you came to visit in happier climes. it?s a workstation monitor, RGB+sync-on-green
and is for pretty much anything DEC with a 13W3 video connector. Not VT240/Rainbow.
Remember me telling you about the static shock trick you could pull on people? :)

I think that's the screen I'd really love
to have for my vt240 but alas I'm
too many continents away! Also not sure it'd plug in directly. Could you
please tell me the model number and what the connectors look like?
I think the VT240 is a base unit plus a VR201 monitor (same monitor that is used by the
DEC Rainbow and a few other DEC "PC" systems of that era).
The VT241 is the same base unit (with a different bezel) with a VR241 monitor.
I don't know what monitor is in that picture but I don't think that the VR241 was
ever used on the DECstation 5000 series.
