About the RM RM700

The RM RM700 (also known as the RM700-A / RM700-P) is a 17-inch CRT monitor produced by Research Machines (RM), a British educational technology company. Widely used in UK schools and offices in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it features a VGA input and a 17-inch CRT tube (approx. 16" visible screen, measured diagonally across the full tube as was standard practice for all CRT manufacturers of the era).

A sought-after piece of retro computing history, particularly among collectors of late-90s / early-2000s PC hardware and UK school computing nostalgia.
