I have an unmodded Xbox 360 S connected to my Sony PVM-20M4U with a component cable and use it with the official remote control. Plex stopped working for me this year, but the 360 still supports:

• DVDs
• MP4 (H.264) or AVI via USB
• Netflix
• YouTube

Do any of you guys have both a PS3 and an Xbox 360? If so, how do they compare?

Which would you grab? I’d like eventually a small 9-13 inch tv to pair with it! The Panasonic comes with a remote. The other two come with DVD.

Asked a small local pick and pull business if he had any old motorhomes, and sure enough he did. I crawled into one that had a collapsed roof from who knows how many winters of sitting there, and found a dirty little RCA TV buried underneath.

It took a bit of work to get it out of there, but it cleaned up nicely and works great. I added a cord and used a matching transformer to connect it to an HDMI to coax adapter, and was pleasantly surprised by the picture quality.

The tube is very bright, sharp, and has the punchiest colors I've ever seen on any display. Not bad considering the owner told me to just take this old piece of junk!

Today, I got a free Toshiba 32A35 from a customer (older lady) while at work. She lives in an old house built in 1920 and the TV was on the second floor, all the way at the end of the hall. If anyone is familiar with older homes, everything is smaller and narrower. Bringing the TV down the stairs alone in the narrowest curved staircase was a struggle but I got it down. Then fitting it into my garbage truck was tricky. Had to lift it over my head to get it in and I wiggle it around to get the passenger door to close. Sorry, no pictures on any of that, I don’t use my phone while I work to stay vigilant as I drive. I do have pictures of loading it up onto my Goldwing. Had videos of my ride home but I don’t know how to upload them. I have a 30 minute commute one way but I decided to take a longer, less traversed route (50 minute ride home) to avoid semi trucks so that they wouldn’t push me while passing on the opposite side of the road. With all my typical work bags and then with the tv in the pillion seat, the rear weighed more than I do and would lift the front wheel just enough to cause death wobbles at higher speeds. Had to stand a good amount to get as much weight as possible to the footpegs. TV also acted like a wind sail. Today was raining all day and quite windy so I would slide here and there. Made it home, opened it up, cleaned it, and now brought it downstairs to my basement. Trick now is figuring out where I’m going to put it. Doesn’t fit in entertainment center.

Hey I was working on a project for someone and I found this TV they say it works it's just a little Dusty and they said I could have it it's a Sanyo and I'll try and send as much information as I can via picture. I've got my fingers crossed that it is because I'd love one for retro gaming

Panasonic CT 9R10T running Fieldstation42 with a custom Comcast guide theme i built. Fulling functional channel selection, current channel preview window, program info and more. Very fun project.

Hey y'all! Question. I found this Sony at an estate sale less than an hour from me for $100. Would you snag it? I've been wanting to get into CRT and electronics repair. I'm an IT guy by day and spent years managing and working in a computer repair shop. I've never really gotten into soldering beyond the basics, but I understand components, diagnostics, multimeters, and the general repair process.

Part of me thinks learning CRT repair could be a fun hobby and maybe even a small side gig. I live in rural-ish northeast Ohio, and while there are repair shops within driving distance about it the closest is still about an hour away, it seems like a useful skill to learn myself. I've already been picking up cheaper CRTs in the $10-50 range when I find them, though I'm pretty sure my wife isn't thrilled with the growing collection in the basement.

As far as I know, this Sony works fine. I've just been surprised by how expensive even non-desirable CRTs have gotten lately. To me, $100 doesn't seem terrible when similar sets are selling for $250-300 on eBay, even with buyers paying shipping. Feels like it could be a good learning set, and maybe a decent flip later if I decide to go that route.

What do you all think? Worth the $100? 😅

Hello crt friends, I‘m not the first one sporting a white Nordmende Galaxy, so shoutouts to this guy first: https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/ym93is/nordmende_galaxy_36af_hooked_up_with_a_pi400/

But here is mine, original familiy property. Haven‘t touched it in about 30 years and it still works perfectly. The tray on the front is intact, it has not turned too yellow and the remote is there too (though I will have to clean it because of leaked batteries).
The TV has rgb-friendly Scart in the back, an own antenna and a headphones jack and mono AV on the front.

What Nordmende means to me: well, my folks had a few Nordmende TVs and VCRs, it was never the coolest brand in the world to me, a little stuffy and grandparents style to me. But now that I am 40up myself I actually like and miss that company. Not as popular as Grundig, not as stylish as Loewe, not as high-end as Metz - but still good German workman‘s craft like we used to say.

And especially this white beauty cutie has something about it. First second I found it a little microwavish looking but after a moment I liked it al lot. Could fit perfect with a Dreamcast, PSOne or Wii.

What would be the best way to connect these together? Never owned a TV that only had just the attena. I have RF converters for my Sega and Nintendo consoles but I assume I need something else for the DVD player.

Earlier today, I went to a locally owned thrift store where I found this 1987 Sony PVM-1271Q for a total of $33. It does work, but I had to adjust the settings a little bit to correct the picture, and there was a tiny bit of burn-in on the tube itself. However, the burn-in is so faint that it's only really visible on blank black screens.

Hi all! I need some help.

My Zenith SJ5747LK CRT television displays moving horizontal dark bands across the picture, particularly in scenes with more blue. The issue occurs on both composite and S-Video inputs and becomes worse when brightness or contrast is increased. Lowering brightness eliminates the problem, but reducing color saturation to zero does not. The bands continue moving behind the on-screen display (OSD), while the OSD text itself remains perfectly stable and unaffected.

You may have seen my earlier post where I asked about the best way to connect an HDMI device to a CRT. After waffling over it for a while, I realized that HDCP would likely stop my idea in its tracks, even if I were to afford a scaler.

A few people suggested I connect a PC, which would be the most flexible option if I could get it set up, but I'm also thinking it might be easier to use a Raspberry Pi or even a homebrew-enabled PS3 or Xbox 360; since these devices have native 480i output.

Streaming services would be out of the question if I went the PS3/360 route, but I wonder if Android on a Pi would be a viable option. It's not like having Widevine certification for going over 720p would matter here.

What are your thoughts on this?

I was just watching The Urge's music video of Jump right in, and I noticed this crt in the corner of the music video. I think it's one of those JVC ball crts.

Anyways I think it's cool that an odd shaped crt is in a music video.

Google tells me the G2 needs a fine adjustment down for the retrace lines. As a novice, how spooky/dangerous is this?

I got this Samsung crt tv about like 2-3 weeks ago and it’s been playing fine but lately it’s been having these big green flashes on the screen and just yesterday the screen all turned like this purple tint with black lines through out the screen and would only go away once I powered off the tv and unplugged it. And it will still have the green flashes randomly and just want to know if there’s a way to fix it? I heard you need to adjust the G2 knobs inside but I know it’s really dangerous inside and don’t want to be electrocuted. And I also want to try and clean up the dust inside as I think that might be causing some issues.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi, I recently got this tv but I dont know how to get rid of the blue line. Was wondering if anyone would know what the cause of this is. It stays there the whole time, if I switch from like av to dvd the line moves a bit up and down

Its the akai and the modelnumber is: ATD1410X

I've only replaced capacitors once on a DVD player and it never worked again, so I'm too scared to even attempt to replace the ones on this

Llevo tiempo (algun par de años, quiza) con una Sanyo CEP1497E, la tenia en un local y juagaba a la PS1 con ella aveces, pero comence a notar que una vez "calentada" (1-2 minutos despues de encenderla) hacia un \*tsk\* (como si fuera un chispazo) cada 15-20 segundos aprox, pero funcionaba al 100% lo demas. (HABIA VECES QUE NI SIQUIERA LO HACIA, AL IGUAL NO LO HACIA 1/4 DE LAS VECES) Hoy la puse en mi habitacion y reproduci un disco de Jackass, y el chasquido vino acompañado de una imagen en blanco y negro del video de la duracion del chasquido (Tengo un trauma con estas CRTs asi que mejor no pidais muchos videos)
