Add Pro CRT monitors to database
Pro grade CRT monitor collecting for retro gaming has become just as hot as the games themselves. It would be awesome to be able to track them here. For many of us a lot of t)3 value in our collection is in AV gear.
mid like to see other AV gear like scaler units added.

I don't know much about the AV gear world. Can you give me some links to specific models you are referring to or a list of these online somewhere so I can look into them a bit more?
I'd be happy to! Here is an exhaustive list of pro monitors that CRT reddit put together. It is pretty close to a gold standard for makes and models.

As far as scaler units and scart switches are concerned those would probably need to be entered on a case by case basis. A lot of that stuff is thoroughly covered by Bob at Retro RGB and the My Life in Gaming youtube channel.
While this list of scalers isn't exhaustive it is a great place to start.

As well as a list of switches.

I think once you have these up and running the community will be able to do a LOT to flush it out and make it more comprehensive.
Thanks for taking this into consideration! I think it can help make price charting a one-stop shop for tracking all of your gaming related equipment!
I looked into this a bit. Tracking those monitors would be a very different type of product to track. I'll wait to see how popular this feature request is before looking into it more, but it would be a very involved addition to the site. At least based on my initial assessment.
