I have obtained a MX8000 and I have done a quick G2 adjustment, it seemingly were set too low judging from B&O G2 calibration screen. Just a tiny adjustment and the standby light went from yellow to green =) All good!
I've read that many prefer to disable the SVM (B&O VisionClear sharpness stuff), since it might bring a bit "too much" sharpness to the image, especially for 2D games. I tend to agree judging from a quick and dirty comparison with my MX7000. Disabling it on the MX8000 did make for a softer image more like the MX7000...HOWEVER! I also noticed that my MX7000 is significantly sharper vs the MX8000 (SVM deactivated) . And I don't think any calibration can make it on-par with the MX7000 sharpness, well as long as the SVM cable is detached that is.
Anyone experienced the same thing comparing the two sets?
I would say the opposite is true on mine, the MX8000 set has a sharper image than my MX7000 even with the SVM cable detached. Did you hppen to watch my youtube video about it by any chance?
Retro Flex? I sure did
I am honestly shocked how great the image is on my old MX 7000, if I remember correctly it was manufactured way back on 93/94. It might have seen little use, or the MX 8000 did see an excessive amount of use lol. I don't know. I have managed to get my hands on a second MX 7000 unit last week, sofware 4.5 and it was manufactured in 2000. However... the anode cap cable seems to have seen better days. I will need to try and fix that before I take my chances on getting it up to speed picture wise!
Suddenly I have way more CRT's.....3 B&O's, three working Sony Trinitrons (managed to bring my parents 99-model 29X5e back to life) and a small Philips I will need to inspect further. I will need to re-arrange my retro space and try and set up a few TV's and narrow them down to which console fits what lol.
Out of curiosity, what are your settings under the picture menu when in the service menu?
