Yeah I've seen couple setups by now of people rocking a KV-xxFS120 and it looks really damn good.Steamflogger Boss wrote:Yeah lol. I got rid of a couple of those HD CRT beasts due to space not that long ago. Just donated them. It was actually hard to find a place that would take them actually.
I have a similar tv (maybe identical I don't remember for sure) to the first one you listed and it rocks. Only problem with mine is that it has some overscan issues on the left side. I went into the service menu and fixed it as best I could but it's still missing some picture there. It's not too noticeable in most applications. I wasn't even all that aware of it until I was checking the liner notes on an anime dvd and the text was cut off.
I have pvms and I will say you aren't missing much especially compared to nice VGA CRT monitors. I have a junky pack-in compaq monitor like the one you picked up and it looks great with old games. I've never been a huge scanline guy though.
I wish thrift stores would even take in old PC monitors. Based on when I was calling around about donating tvs I doubt most do. So they probably end up getting junked. They are small enough that I would hoard a few more of them. XD
For playing emulators, I miss my viewsonic pc crt I had when I was a teen, That was a perfect setup for this
