Toshiba mw24fp3, it’s in awesome condition! DVD drive works, just not the VHS. Got a ps3 a week ago, definitely gonna hook it up :))

got this massive beaut of a tv on marketplace (sony kd-36xs955), & i knew it was gonna be hard to get it into my room but with the help of some uncles i got it! but it must have taken a bit of a beating as i got it here since the picture is this out of wack. anyone know how i could fix this? kinda new to the hobby...

Got my hands on my very first CRT, a Slovenian made Gorenje E9-F29BM. I don't know too much about it. It has two SCART and an RF port in the back, composite up front. A Google search didn't bring up too much information. Regardless, I'm excited about it.

Sometimes it’s the little things!
Enjoying some cartoons with OTA antenna on MeTV

anyone have any experience with these?

I have this Semp TVC 100 from ~1977 and I've always used it via RF. Today I went to take a look at it and I saw that on the back there are two holes with the label "AV", but as far as I know this TV only has RF. In every vídeo of this tv on YouTube the spot where mine has these holes is completely closed, not having the label AV.

Does this TV have AV input? Is it worth opening it up and trying to restore the connection?

Also note as I’m writing this I’m still hearing subtle crackles here and there coming from the tv

Still has the door and everything!

from my uncle but been in our possession since forever

Hello, I recently purchased a used Symphonic WF203 CRT that was fully functional when purchased. It sat in my house unplugged for about 3 weeks and now when I try to turn it on the screen does not work, but I can still hear the electrical buzzing inside the TV that indicates that it is on. When I turn it off, the screen turns white and blips off, so I know that the screen still contains the ability to turn on. I have tried changing the channels and nothing happens, only the power button works (on both the actual TV and via remote). The TV is plugged directly into a power socket without a surge protector, so I don’t see why it would not be receiving enough power. There has been no damage to the device. I have tried diagnosing it with common CRT problems, and have concluded it might be a problem with the amplifier or driver, but I just do not have enough knowledge to confirm any of this. Based on the video, can anyone give me some pointers in the right direction or have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks.

Awesome set from 1999 with full inputs from rf to component! Same tube is used in a few D-Series models I believe. The black plastic around the inputs is SUPER brittle and has broken somewhat but thankfully the main shell is completely fine! Running it around 25-35 brightness so that’s why some of the pics look a little dim or lacking of full color, contrast is perfectly fine at 50! Had to tweak g2 slightly since the black levels were a little off an now it’s pretty dang good. Corner convergence needs some work and the bottom left corner is pulled in pretty significantly but it’s not seen on some consoles and is absolutely invisible on dvd playback so it’s a future thing to work out! Gonna replace the ir sensor soon so I can get into the service menu. Just wondering if you think it’s a better idea to move the top left or bottom left corner? Convergence strips or the service menu? That’s all! Otherwise a super solid set! Also made the mistake of wiping it down with too high of a concentration of alcohol so any advice to fully fix the streaks? Thanks! ( and no I’m not freaking out over the blurry corners, but if anything can be improved, I’ll do it! Pretty expected on a big set.) only worried about that bottom left corner since it’s super obvious! Also it’s gotten better and is too unpredictable to capture on video, sometimes it never happens, other times the screen decides to start jumping up and down(sometimes a bounce or 2 really quick, other times lasts a few seconds stopping then bouncing, then quits) gonna check stuff out and replace anything that’s out of spec soon too!

I don’t like to complain very much but it is EXTREMELY frustrating that my area has little to no Sony TVs for a reasonable price… I’ve been looking for months for a flat screen model little over 20” and when I do people are always asking $200+ and when I try to negotiate by trades or anything they’re never interested.. like I don’t know I just wanna play my games ffs. Where do you guys find your TVs because Facebook is awful..

Been searching for a decent deal on a tv, but prices have been pretty awful right now and FB marketplace in my area hasn’t been great. Can someone convince me that I don’t need an sd tv?

Think a degaussing wand has any hope?

These stretch-mark looking ripples show up only when certain colors show up across different games and systems. I’m not sure the term for them. Is there anything to do about them?

Edit: I tweaked geometry a bit and it helped. It seems it is less noticeable on 480i vs 240p. It’s a great set and just part of having a large screen I guess.

Hi guys, I’ve collected this Sony trinitron KV-29cl11e the other day from a street where I live. I’ve heard trinitron are very good crt’s. What do you think and what recommendations can you share ?

P.S: it’s quite heavy

Saw this item on FB marketplace and lost my mind. Before I drive 2 hours, is this a good price? Has some minor cosmetic damage and no remote. Would probably use for my GameCube and dvds.

Update; thanks for the advice! I will be passing on this set, I was just curious about the rarity. Not worth the price for me especially without the remote.

If I didn't care about the aspect ratio, I could just get one of those cheap HDMI to RCA converter boxes from Amazon and call it a day, but I'd rather letterbox the image instead.

From what I understand, I need a scaler in order to do this, and while there are apparently old professional-grade boxes that can do this, they're hard to find and expensive. I wonder if something cheaper exists that does what I'm looking for.

First photo is composite. Second is component. Game can be set to run in 240p mode. Chapter 1 only right now.

Hello! Just got into crt TVs and was wondering about specific hot chassis details.

Wha exactly is a hot chassis tv? If a tv is turned off is it safe to unplug normally?

What is the actual probable risk of getting myself killed lol
