Saturday I came home from the flea market with a portable DVD player I got for just 5 Euros! In the evening I showed it to @Nikokaro, who, instead of being happy with me, had nothing better to do than telling me, that I buy broken and useless stuff just because it is cheap… and I could as well collect garbage in the junkyard! Gave him a well-deserved "
" for ridiculing my attempts to collect/preserve outdated stuff!
If a perfectly working portable DVD-Player is broken and useless junk… well… let me grab something else from "my little private museum": A monochrome LCD-Panel with VGA input that goes on an Overhead projector. How is that one, Niko?
@M4x1mumReZ, maybe you are interested in this since you participated on the profile message?
Bad contrast, no colors, limited to 640*480… but hey: It allowed showing the computer picture in huge decades ago. Came in a nice protective pouch.
Due to the age there is some dust and whatever in between the glass and the actual LCD. I would have to disassemble it to get a bit better picture quality… but I don't use this thing anyway, so why should I? Too much work and it could get damaged.
The compressed photos do not represent how it looks in reality. When the room is dark (weak projector lamp), picture is still not pretty, but usable.
I chose a fitting computer from that era: 80386 CPU, 8MB RAM, 512KB ISA graphics card… and it has a double speed CD-ROM drive on one of those proprietary, special controller cards. Running MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
At first the PC didn't want to turn on, but after a targeted punch on the power supply, it started. Hard to take a picture of this. And I even had to choose portrait orientation.
Just thinking… if this thing wasn't black/white/greyscale but greenish like the DMG-001 it would be more stylish… playing with a GB emulator.

The text above is meant in a joking manner. Sadly my experience shows, that I am only funny to people when trying to not be funny and vice versa, so I had to add this disclaimer.
