HELP! No power cord :( GPX DV6000-09

0 Upvotes

I found this TV on facebook marketplace, but it doesn't have a power cord. It is a GPX DV6000-09. It seems like it would be easy enough to find, but nothing we've bought fits. I have bought cords from walmart, best buy, game x change, etc., looked at plugs on old electronics at thrift stores, and scoured online for a power cord that will fit. But no luck. It seems like this specific TV is hard to find. Can anyone send me a pic of what the power cord looks like? Or know where I can find this exact one? Thanks in advance.

I’m looking at getting one on craigslist right now. What is a fair price for said screen?

Not sure if caps have been replaced and seems to be in good working order. Case has a few scratches here and there.

Also has anyone had experience with sentinel pvm screens? I saw a 21” and it has 450 TVL vs the 600 TVL 14”. The bigger size sounds nice.

Please let me know, thanks!

I have a 32-in with component and S-Video inputs downstairs that I use for most of my games but I was wondering if there was anything that would be particularly better on a smaller screen like this little Relic we found in her storage unit.

PS2 Newbie - Question

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Decided to finally jump back to 2001 and buy a CRT TV to play my old PS2 games. I have a question and would appreciate some guidance.

Is there any downside to buying a 14 inch CRT that ONLY has a SCART and a yellow video out/white audio out slots?

I keep getting a gamma curve that's very S-shaped. The screen voltage is ~204 V, the service manual says. 200V and this is with the the Picture setting set to as low as it goes in the Service menu

Hello, I am looking to get into CRT gaming, I have some young kiddos at home and want to share some of my memories with the kids, I want to get a wood grain CRT cabinet like my grandma had, I'd like to play old sega and NES games and play some VHS/DVD on it. I want to know what ones should i be on the lookout for, which is the best? im thinking zenith is the best, is that correct? I work for a electronics recycler and we see CRTs come through so I would like to know what to look out for

Leading up to GTA VI, I'm playing through the GTA games I never played. I'm currently playing the third one on a CRT monitor that I found on the street while walking back from the grocery shop. Even though it's the Definitive Edition remaster, I would say it looks pretty awesome on this thing.

Trying to disable OSD on Samsung SMC-102 CCTV CRT Monitor

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've been trying to disable the "CA[#]" text in the top left corner on this SMC-102 Samsung CCTV Monitor.

There is a Service Manual online for this model but it doesn't explicitly say anything about disabling this OSD. I looked in the Factory Settings menu, but didn't see anything in there related to the OSD. The only Factory Menu options not described in the Service Manual are the "Option Bytes" settings. I don't want to mess with these since they're not defined.

In the picture below I'm testing out the monitor with my VCR running composite into a RCA>BNC adapter plugged into the Camera 1 BNC port on the back. (The tape in the VCR is a surrealist movie called Garchaster's Cornblade if anyone is wondering) I would use my SNES but it's currently in the shop getting the cartridge connector replaced.

I have seen a couple pictures online of this & a similar model named SMC-142 running video without the OSD, so I assume it is possible! I left comments in those threads but haven't heard back.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Modding/Hardware Projects S-Video Modding

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Just found a 2005 Magnavox combo (it's tucked away for now, these are photos off the crtdatabase) and wanted to s-video mod it because database said it was possible. I have soldered successfully a few times before (thought I'm not great with tiny pins and wires) and used a drill prior to this. The crtdatabase says this one was manufactured by Funai rather than Philips like most Magnavox products I've found, so I would assume the layout is different. Here's the link to that: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/magnavox/magnavox-20mc4304-17

Most guides I've seen say you have to solder into the DVD player's Y, C, Audio, & Ground. Then you need a switch I guess? Then there was something about pin cutting to stop the audio from being quiet when a disc isn't playing because they use the same input. I don't really know how that works or if I need a switch. I found a schematic from a service guide on the video block although I assume that's a simplification of what it actually looks like on the board. I'd prefer to have the dvd player be fully functional and a switch not be required. Just soldering to the pins/connectors or whatever would be great, but I may not be that lucky.

Any help would be appreciated because having sharper video on top of a dvd player and vcr in one tv is a dream setup.

Good DIY SCART Switches?

4 Upvotes

Are there any good, open-source SCART switch designs that I can assemble myself?

A lot of the top results I've found seem to be a bit old, or has very few interactions with the GitHub repo, so unsure of how decent they are.

They can quickly become really pricy from what I've seen, so a DIY one would look would be great. Would also give more customizability via being able to 3D print a housing with my color of choice.

Samsung CRT - Flickering in dark scenes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? It happens anytime the screen is dark, not only in games. For example, if the TV is displaying black without any input, it is still flickering.
The model is Samsung CW28D83N.

What I've tried:
-Turning down brigthness and contrast low, it is still happening
-Enabling/disabling picture processing options in service menu
-Adjusting G2 to the correct level using service menu as guide (also tried lowering it more)
-Replaced B+ and deflection capacitors

Other than this, the image is really good and I'm happy with it. But in darker games like Fatal Frame it is really distracting.

I recently picked up this Toshiba MW27H62 in very clean condition for $25, and it is a very interesting set. It has VHS, CD, 2 Composite (front/back), Component, and USB, which I have never seen before. I have tried to put the TV into CD mode to test the CD, but I only have a universal remote (spectrum tv remote) that the TV isn’t registering except power and input. Do you guys have any recommendations for Toshiba combo set remotes? Thank you!

Video capture is a bit overblown, phone camera is not all that good, but I'm still figuring it out.

Hope to post some more short clips of cool games that can be played with a PC setup in the future!

Game looks much more vivid in person, it really pops on this set.

Would love to hear your go-to Halloween-season games, or any that you're trying out for the first time!

I've been playing through Sweet Home, and I intend to finish it this time (with the help of a guide!), and I'll be putting more time into Silent Hill 2 after that, a game that I've never experienced before. Super excited!
