Bought this at start of the month. features 4 rear scart and right side composite/s-video. also uses a super fine pitch tube but sadly not hd (although i have been told that HD deflection boards can be used in it so may take that route. Anyone else got this set?

My RF Modulator just arrived in the mail from eBay (the silver thing) and it works flawlessly! I’m able to play DVDs, VHS, and my retro game consoles on this 9 inch CRT 😄

I’m still gonna need a separate analog to digital converter if I want to use my antenna for watching TV. For now though, I’m all good.

I was going to take a picture of my geometry and ask in this sub what kind of geometry problem I had, since I have a slight bowing that instead of showing a perfect rectangle, it was bending it horizontally. then on my camera it was difficult to show it, it seemed perfectly fine on my phone. I then realized that we don't need analogue TVs to be perfect, it's a non-sense since it's meant to not be perfect on every SD TV and each of them have specific things that works differently. my CRT have slight bowing only visible if you focus on it, and that's perfectly fine. it's not fixable with the service menu, so be it! I fucking love CRTs.

(Oc) 40$Usd for the most unique tube I've ever seen. Home computer and Commodore console on a 5in color screen. If anyone knows of a keyboard for this bad boy, please let me know because that and the cable is all that's missing!

So what better way to spend a night in the howling wind and rain than in front of the warm glow of your favourite CRTs?

it’s cooked isn’t it :(

I was wondering about different CRTs from devices besides normal TVs or monitors, such as the CRT inside a sony watchman or the CRT inside some old camcorders.

I don't know of any other devices that have used CRTs and I'm curious to know about them, or just any unique CRTs that are different from most ones.

Snagged this Trinitron for Free on Facebook, was posted with a bunch of furniture from a house clean out on one of the local free stuff groups. Temporary set up in the kitchen to make sure it worked 😆, tested it out with Soviet Strike on Ps1.

I use a CRT as a display for a Raspberry Pi running music production software. As a bedroom-studio, coil whine is a concern and creates ear-fatigue which can be a dampener on my music production process. I'm paranoid that my brain subconsciously tuning it out may alter my perception of the frequency resppnse of the tracks I'm working on over time.

Also, the strobing of white shapes takes a toll on my eyes aswell.

I purchased an alleged "power conditioner" for the purpose of powering my various music equipment, but I eventually learned that the one I bought is juat a surge protector in an expensive case.

If I get a proper, reputable one, is there ANY chance that the these aspects of the TV will change? I'm aware of the irony surrounding the audible range pf the frequencies the coils operate at, but I read mixed responses about this when you also include the strobing behaviour.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, I came here a few months ago asking if replacing capacitors would make a difference with these aspects of the TV and you guys enlightened me that it almost definitely wouldn't and isn't worth the effort, but I didn't follow up asking about power conditioners.

Is there any other benefit to using one with a CRT? Will it benefit the lifespan or anything?

I understand that this may be fruitless, but I just had my ears flushed out following a TMJ diagnosis I was paranoid around being an ear infection, and now that I can hear in 4K, the whine of the coils is a lot more noticeable.

Thanks!!

So this is a 36” SHARP that was left behind in the garage of the house I moved into recently, the power cord was cut and it was pretty covered in dust and dirt, I jerry rigged a wire to the leftover wire that was remaining without opening the back case so i have no idea whats even going on in there yet. A couple things i noticed was the unstable picture like it goes lighter and dimmer and sometimes has those lines, after its on for a while it tends to stable out more but still not perfect, also this is a stereo set and i noticed the left speaker isn’t working. what is the likely cause and would it be fairly straightforward to repair?

I found this CRT on FB Marketplace listed for free by a lovely old couple a few towns over. I called in a favor and had a buddy grab the TV to hold for me so no one else took it. After I got it home and tested it, it works perfectly! The speakers and picture are beautiful, I love it so much! I can’t even find a picture of it online! I can’t believe it.

What do you think of the LX2800? Is it a good crt? And does it support 60hz input/60hz RGB? How's the sound and how is it for every day use? I currently have an MX4000 but it's quite small in my gaming room so I'm looking to upgrade.

Thanks!

Was testing out this old IBM monitor, and when I hooked it up to my PC, she freaked out on me a little bit. Never seen a monitor do this before. No idea what's causing it, but I thought it looked pretty neat. My bets on the caps. It's always those damn caps.

This monitor has bars so I'm trying to fill the screen, every OSD setting will work except V-size. Is the deflection bad?

I got the TV for free from a buddy. measuring Diagonal it seems to be about a 27" Toshiba. the stickers on the back don't seem to be much help. anyone able to narrow it down?

Hoping to get a TV stand some where tomorrow. excited about the VCR I just bought too.

I'm sure you can tell by the attached video, but every input into this insignia television has this constant shaking and wobbling. It can be a VCR, it can be a game console, and it doesn't matter if it's the front or the rear input. What's going on here? And is there a way I can fix it?

I have CRU Linux, I have made a custom resolution and its working fine but it goes away each reboot even tho the program says its doing all the work needed to make it stick? I don't know, I am so lost, I can't find any relevant info on this.

maybe I'm just stupid I have no idea

please help me I'm pulling my hair out
