Ahh, interesting to finally see a JVC model that uses that same shell mould! I have four 1701 Commodore monitors, only one had a mysterious hole in the bottom centre dark brown bezel... Got my answer - it was where the JVC badge would go. Still hunting down other models that use this shell... Behind the Commodore logo and 1701 plate on this same particular shell, are a bunch of holes. Looks like for 2 LEDs, 4 or more buttons and possible an LED channel number display. Would love to eventually find what model and branding was used with that full setup
ОтветитьNice wand, where can I get one of those?
ОтветитьI got my CRT for only £5 at my local charity shop and it supports RGB via SCART.
ОтветитьA question that you think about a Téknika MJ-10 monitor, is it a good monitor?
ОтветитьThat's the most color vibrant crt i ever seen
ОтветитьWith CRT's it sometimes feels like the best times to get those are long gone. If you can make a deal with city recycling, you might be able to get some on a budget.
Today you need to hunt for other vintage gems: Plasma and CCFL LCD's. These often have an abundance of retro gaming connectors, and may not CRT accurate, but still an amazing picture quality. Some have really nice upscalers and denoise algoritms. Those PC Engine Soldier games look stellar on a 40 inch plasma over the SCART plug. I found very decent plasma's from Panansonic for 30€ or such.
seems like this challenge is gonna be even harder now :( saw one of these for 300 on ebay, yikes.
ОтветитьIs there a way to fix screen burn in? i just found a fairly cheap Samsung SMC-210FN with that issue!
ОтветитьBy the way if anyone wants CRT's they are available for Free weekly on the streets of NYC..no Kidding. Its sad to see the massive waste... I try to pick them up when I can but that is no more that 2, I cant store anymore than that.
ОтветитьWhy is that JVC Identical in shape and design to the Commodore Monitor? hmmm>??
ОтветитьI just picked up a DynaFlat Samsung for $25. Waiting on a remote to mess with service menu. Otherwise it’s in pretty good shape
ОтветитьI replaced my Commodore 1084 with a Sony KV-H1610D. Best Amiga picture with Scart RGB. Better Black than my LG Oled. Lol.
ОтветитьNice score!
ОтветитьI was able to get a 27 inch Sony Trinitron for $35 in the Facebook marketplace. Best purchase I've made in a while
ОтветитьI found one for free. The power of the Facebook marketplace. It has component inputs, outputs 480i, comes with the remote and can run 50 and 60hz. That last was was really important to me being in the PAL region
ОтветитьThere will be millions of CRTs around as when the LCDs started coming in they were dumped en masse years ago. The challenge is to find a good one, especially a 1701 or a 1702 or something similar, as now they will also be getting long in the tooth.
ОтветитьWhen using a degaussing wand is it okay to have other CRTs nearby? Are other equipment ok to have as well? For instance consoles, VCRs etc.
Ответитьwould love to see more, i'd pay you to help me with my crt issues.
ОтветитьBeautiful monitor
Ответитьthere is no such thing as a "retro gaming CRT" stop acting as if the only good crts are pvms/bvms/whatever is overhyped and expensive
Ответитьvery good video, here in Chile it is difficult to find a PVM monitor at a good price, they are very rare to see, and the ones you find have super high prices, anyway greetings from Chile c:
ОтветитьYes, please compare them :)
ОтветитьInteresting difference in video inputs. It would have been nice for the 1701/1702 inputs to have been in the rear.
ОтветитьHere's a new challenge. Order a new crt from China for under $100. And tell us how you did it so we can do it. HAHAHAHA
ОтветитьI never liked the Commodore 1700 series, they do have S-Video, but their tube have a really bad dot pitch and thus have poor resolution. The obvious star is of course the Commodore 1084, but even the 1081 (less connectivity) is a way better monitor than the 1700 series. TVs from the 90s generally have pretty good tubes and electronics and compete pretty with with a Commodore 1084... if they have SCART input... which makes it a mostly European party. Still you could consider to RGB mod a 90s TV, gets you a good retro gaming monitor at a good price.
ОтветитьC’mon man, over here you find +20 inches for free!
ОтветитьThat Ikegami-branded DT-V in the background during the unboxing part!! Those DT-Vs are pretty much the best pro CRTs ever. If Adrian sent it in for repairs hopefully it goes well, would love to see a video on that one!
Ответитьget them free from the dump
ОтветитьHi, my PVM 14N1U Line A button don't work when I press then! Can you help me? Thank u!
Ответитьpossible to do RGB mod?
ОтветитьJust bought a 32 inch Trinitron for that exact price. Late model 4:3 KV-32FS320 with component inputs and everything, in great condition. Worth setting some craigslist alerts for!
ОтветитьNice box...
ОтветитьMaybe you could do a video on how to properly pack a smaller crt for shipping? I think that’d be good for those possibly looking to sell and ship smaller crts!
ОтветитьDo you sell them?
Ответитьthanks for the name of the game you present in the monitors.
I don't need ask you be again ❤
Hey, I’m in Virginia as well. What area are you in? I have some Sony PVM’s that need repair. 😁
ОтветитьI found some old pelco security monitors that use BNC inputs. Is there a good signal conversion kit that would convert from rca to bnc that you would recommend?
ОтветитьThat degaussing ring might damage the SD card in the Krikzz cart FYI.
Ответитьlol cant believe you used "Retro Gaming crt" smh
ОтветитьWeird that JVC doesn't have S-video like the Commodore version does.
ОтветитьMan the market of USA for CRT is crazy, in South America you can find any multy region crt TV wide or normal, hd or sd for less than 30 USD or almost free, i think that its because the latest company to close CRT Production was Sony and Philips in Chile, Brazil and Argentina and the were produced till 2010
Ответитьnothing compares to the warm X ray glow of a tube.
ОтветитьThe CRT tube in the 1701 is pathetic. The darker the shade of grey a CRT TV tube is when turned off the better. If it isn't a Sony Trinitron or Panasonic Quintrix it's going to be crap as far as the 8bit ERA goras. If you are talking SNES/PS1 generation replace Sony with Mitsubishi Diamondtron. I am a TV engineer btw.
ОтветитьI just grabbed 2 cvm-1250s at $50 each off Marketplace. One is a '78, the other '81. Very happy with the '81.
ОтветитьTwo thumbs up for actually putting the kilometer conversion for all of your viewers who use the metric system (the better system IMO)! Appreciate it! Thank you!
ОтветитьI haven't seen a CRT work for more than 12 hours since 2016...
ОтветитьFor a composite video crt there's not really much reason to spend money. You still can find them on the side of the road, not nearly as commonly as 10 years ago, but I see one out maybe about once every 2 months and I've never found a trash crt that doesn't still work
ОтветитьMy question is how did you find one of those jvc monitors for that price!?!?! Every time I look, they're like $200+
ОтветитьDamn since you made a video, now they'll all cost $10000 morbillion dollars
ОтветитьLucky that arrived in one piece. That packing was shockingly bad.
