    Hello,

    Does anybody know what the computer terminals used for NTP's pis based on? and if so can anyone provide pictures? I'm generally interested in older computers and I like the way the NTP ones look.

    Thanks!

    I’ve done a bit of research into this and the best I could find was CRT displays (which seems to be an acronym for Cathrode ray tube)

    Yeah I know there CRT displays but the text used on them isn't something I've seen before

    CRT is just a TV before they became flatscreen? All TV's were CRT?

    I believe it's dot matrix, as in the format of the display (the text not the actual monitor, which is CRT). Lots of printers used this in 70s to 90s
