Typically a recap would be needed to fix something like that (or possibly an IC might need replacing as well). If that doesn't fix it its most likely the CRT. Typically when you get a problem that worsens as the CRT warms up it usually means capacitors are going bad.opt2not wrote:How does one fix that? Tube Magnets?

And I thought MY BVM was distorted! Damn!604_degrees wrote:I've picked up cheap ass PVM locally which is in perfect condition, except some geometry issue:
As you can see, lines in the middle looks distorted opposed to upper and lower ones.
Is this fixable?
UPD: It's about OK (a bit distorted) at first, but after few minutes (during warming up) it start to bulging from the center, and these 'steps' are like this 'bulge' didn't get to the end of edges.
UPD2: It seems that strength of the distortion depends on the picture's contrast or brightness.

I believe someday I'll find another one in the slightly better condition. Thank you all for the good advices, really appreciate it!
So the ps2 can send 480p over a scart cable?Fudoh wrote:in 15khz mode the PS2 does output RGBs, not RGsB. Only with 480p you get Sync on Green.PS2 sync on green must not work. Maybe with SCART, but component connections did not work on my Sony or JVC monitor, especially with 480i.

Press MENU, then press ENTER+DEGAUSS.
Then press DEGAUSS to save or BLUE ONLY to reset.
For 15khz do you mean sync on blue or external sync? If external where would I get the sync from when using component cables?Fudoh wrote:in 15khz mode the PS2 does output RGBs, not RGsB.

It'd be external sync. If you're trying to carry an RGBS signal along a component cable, you'd either need one that also has a composite cable attached, or a light gun breakout box. It'll give you somewhere to tap composite from while letting the RGB and audio to go through unmolested.Carthik wrote:For 15khz do you mean sync on blue or external sync?

Ok, yeah I've done this too, in reverse. I built a scart to RCA cable to avoid using BNCs so I can use a cheap component switch with my PVM. I think what was confusing me was 480p through an RGB signal. I guess I thought it was limited to 480i.Skips wrote:You can do anything over scart as long as you wire it right. Scart is a connector, nothing more. As long as you wire stuff up correctly you can pass nearly anything through it. When I had an original Wii I cut the RCA jacks off a component cable so I could wire a scart connector to it so I could just use my scart switch.
.). They're going for about half the cost of the Sony equivalent on eBay. It's a great monitor overall, but as you can see it looks a little on the soft side compared to my 13" Sony. Like I said, I attempted to adjust the internal focus pot but I couldn't get it any better. The convergence looks ok too i think.Xyga wrote:It's really awesome how quash never gets tired of hammering the same stupid shit over and over and you guys don't suspect for second that he's actually paid for this.
To hook up the PS4, you'll need an HD Fury adapter, and maybe a newer one that has audio out if your sound system doesn't support optical audio.peterwright1234 wrote:hey guys. I don't post ever post here really but I have a question. I'm interested in getting a ps4 and I'm wondering if its possible to play it on my bvm d24e1wj. I'm really unknowledgable about audio/video stuff. I don't have an hd tv but I have 4 pvms and 1 bvm. If it is possible, how does the experience compare to a modern hd tv? what resolution does it play in?
Well that sucks D: Any way to replace it, supposing they still had repair shops? Would it be possible to make a CRT with replaceable phosphor coating, supposing I had a few million bucks?kamiboy wrote:The phosphor coating of a CRT does indeed burn out with use. Short of not using the screen there is no avoiding it.
Burn-in, however, is a phenomenon caused by uneven burn out of the phosphor coating. That can easily be avoided by not displaying the same static elements on the screen for hundreds of hours.
