Styling is alright, but a VA panel... that is unfortunate choice.

I agree. I wonder if you could get that chasis and put in a better 23.6" panel and cobble them together to worth with the dials. I like the concept and it would go great with a sleeper PC. Too bad the panel isn't the best for brightness and colors...

Nothing retro about this. I was hoping some sort of built in filter or screen that simulates the CRT effect.

Those two big knobs were for UHF and VHF.

One of those knobs would be perfect for immediate switching between ports instead of needing to open a menu.
Click HDMI, Click Displayport

Is it weird that I remember how it feels to turn one of those knobs on a TV and the click as it rotates?

Strange choice to go so far back as well as to TV's for inspiration, when I read retro style monitor I was expecting beige CRT box retro

It would have been nice if someone started up a line of crt production.
The market wouldn’t be all that small either

No need, there are millions of used working CRTs that have filled warehouses all over. Its to the point that its cost prohibitive to get rid of them.

I think y'all forget that CRTs don't age well.
They get dimmer and fuzzier as the various parts degrade/wear out.
