Lean in close: the sun is setting inside the glass.

This CRT poster, Through the Phosphor Glass, shows an old computer monitor glowing in a dark room, with a sunset drawn in scan lines across its curved screen. The heavy matte print brings real CRT aesthetic to a game room or desk, and it suits anyone who still remembers the hum of a tube screen.

The design: a sunset living inside an old monitor

We see the monitor up close and from a slight angle on the left: a thick gray-blue plastic case, a curved glass screen, rows of vent slots and a small blank badge plate under the screen. It stands on a desk in a darkened room, cables trailing in front, with the picture itself as the only light.

On the screen, a sunset is built from rows of tiny lit points and fine horizontal scan lines. A pale yellow sun rests on the horizon above dark, pyramid-shaped mountains, and their reflection glows pink beneath them. A thin white oval arc rings the scene, crossed by a faint wave-like line, while curved bands of green, orange and pink light sweep above and below like an equalizer readout. Around the edges the glass glows orange-pink, spilling color onto the case.

Off to the left, a small glass vase holds dry, wispy grass that catches the orange light, with tiny sparks drifting around it. Nothing is written anywhere, just the moody, synthwave-tinted stillness of an old screen left on after everyone else has gone to bed.

Who it's for

Retro computing fans, people who grew up with tube TVs and boxy desktop PCs, synthwave lovers and gamers who built their first setup in front of a heavy monitor. It suits a game room, a home office, a studio desk or a dim bedroom corner, and works as a present for a birthday, a housewarming, a new job or the holidays.

Quick answers

Is there a video game on the screen?

No. The screen shows a sunset over mountains, drawn in glowing scan lines. It is old-screen nostalgia rather than game art, so it sits as easily in a home office as in a game room.

Is it a photo of a real monitor?

It is an original RaZits illustration made to look photo-real. The monitor carries no brand name or logo, and the badge plate under the screen is left blank.

Does the square format cut anything off?

No. Every size is the same square artwork, so each one shows the whole front of the monitor, the sunset on the screen and the vase at the left edge.

Which size should I choose?

Beside your own screen or on a shelf, the 10″ or 12″ square fits neatly. Over a desk or dresser, go up to 16″ or 18″ so the scan lines and the vase of dry grass stay clear from the doorway.
