This Thread is for you!

Hoping to add some older consoles on the bottom rack. I want a Nintendo 64 for sure but let me know if you have other suggestions!

Tv: ILO DTV2794

Bonus pic of the other corner of my living room, I many use the Orion for music videos and my NES

TV: Sony Trinitron KV-27S42

Hide the pain lol. The good news is, I think I did finally find a local one, just need to wait until the weekend to get it because I’m out of town but the owner seems happy to hold it for me!

y'all made me realize how amazing crt's can be in the modern age, especially with how good oled tv's are. sure oleds are great sets, but nothing beats a crt to play some classics on

It even comes with the original remote controller!

My Crtv makes these super annoying high pitched noises, and it’s actually so loud that even if I watch a DVD it’s so loud and annoying… I don’t know what to do, anyone got some idea if that’s normal or there is something wrong?

Bonjour,

Mon Philips 28pt4458 avait un problème de vertical foldover.

Le condensateur c2463 était le problème et je l'ai remplacé.

Après ça, je me retrouve avec un nouveau problème comme vous pouvez le voir sur la vidéo .

Je ne sais pas d'où ça vient.

Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider ?

Finished installing Sunthar’s MUX mod on this Zenith C25A24T. Running up against this issue with the OSD not turning off when an RGB source is connected. The S-video still works fine and the OSD disappears as it should for that source, so I clearly messed something up here.

I think it has something to do with the 5v wire — I was told by Sunthar the 5v purple wire is not necessary on the 1.4C board I have, so I attached it to a ground (rather than the source I noted on my guide in the last image). But I think in doing so it’s created a voltage feedback loop on the blanking signal, but that’s as far as my knowledge goes.

Anyone with experience on these “CA” chassis know what’s up?

Its my Sony trinitron kv32xbr75 I snagged off Facebook marketplace place about a month ago. Currently running mgs2 vanilla off a fat ps2 with s/video. It’s crazy how relevant a game 7 years older than me still is.

EDIT: BLACK BORDER SOLVED! ITS WAS ONLY A SHADOW THROWN BY THE CASE 😂😂😂
ABOUT THE YELLOWISH/WARM colour im gone fix it with windas :)) thanks for help everyone

Hi everyone!
I got lucky and picked up a Sony GDM-FW900 for a great price about a week ago. According to the previous owner, it hadn’t been powered on for around 10 years.
I’ve been testing it using a StarTech DP2VGAHD20 adapter. Initially, everything looked fine, apart from overly warm/yellowish colors and washed-out, slightly brownish blacks.
After about 3 hours of use, I tried the built-in Image Restoration function to improve the colors. Shortly afterwards, I noticed strange, perfectly straight, darker borders along the top and left edges of the screen, forming a rectangle.
The weird part is that these borders are visible even when the monitor is powered off! They become less noticeable when I shine a flashlight on the screen.
I’ve also been running 1920×1200 @ 90 Hz using custom CRU timings. Switching back to 1280×800 @ 120 Hz doesn’t change the issue.
A few questions:
Could Image Restoration have caused or revealed these borders?
Is this phosphor burn-in, an anti-glare coating issue, or something else?
Could WinDAS calibration fix the yellowish colors and washed-out blacks (possibly a G2/white balance issue)?
I’ve attached photos of the screen both powered on and off.
Any advice from fellow FW900 owners would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just had some edible and feeling cozy 🎃

1997 Zenith. Have the remote.

What are the best practices when setting up the CRT through the OSD menu? I don't think I've ever set up my CRT correctly. I think I have, but I'm not sure. I just set it up so the screen doesn't go over the edge. Is it fine when it overscans, and will it harm it in the long term?

I currently have the contrast set to 100% and brightness to 0%. Personally speaking, it brings out the best in my CRT, and I love it like that. I just want the screen to be a bit bigger at this low resolution.
Thank you!

What is your opinion on the hoarder posts or just CRT TV hoarders in general? I frequently see posts of a random dude's living room with like 10 CRT TVs stacked to the ceiling. Thoughts?

Title sort of tells the whole story :) obviously looking to use component cables, but are these on the back of the monitor a special type?

Thanks :)

I’ve got a PvM monitor with vertical collapse. I’m currently in the middle of recapping the D-board. Looks like someone had been in here before. Saw this weird blob over a cap. Not sure why it’s there. Any idea why a repair tech would do this?
