God. I remember for a while there in the 90s, Dell was kinda the "gold standard" for mainstream consumer PCs.

They often came with nice (Dell rebranded) Trinitron monitors although I think that was usually an upgrade over some base monitor.

Yep, the monitor we got with that Dimension was a 17” Trinitron, which was excellent. Probably good enough to hold its own even today.

Good enough to hold its own, and fetch a few hundred bucks to boot! People pay good money for them now.
