Hi everybody! After diving into the world of retro hardware I’ve decided to pick up my first CRT. After doing a lot of research on what some of the best sets to look for are. I managed to find a Trinitron Flat screen second hand.
As I am only 27 I do not know a lot about the internals, mechanics or habits of these televisions. But am eager to learn. I’ve been seeing alot about convergence tuning. I was mainly curious if mine looked pretty good or not. Or if I should do anything to adjust it. I still need to get a remote to acsess the service menu. And have no clue what physical tuning or maintenance might look like. Any tips or overall knowledge on maintenance would be appreciated. My main goal is to keep and maintain it in the best possible condition, and hopefully be aware of any signs of future component failure. Thanks everybody!

I'm not planning on buying it, but... I feel like I can't pass it up (I should clarify that I know nothing about CRTs, and I don't even know if this is a CRT, because the seller is advertising it as a projector or something like that).

If I buy it, I don't know how I'd move it, where I'd put it, or what I'd do with it at home 🤣

But what do you think? Is it worth a try? I'd use it to play Gran Turismo on my PS2.

EDIT: Im dumb 🤣

Anyone ever heard of a qasar lol it’s been sitting down the street like this for weeks

I was at an estate sale yesterday and saw this neat structure with a CRT built in. Obviously the basement has now been stripped of most everything but I can only imagine this was a really cool place to have friends over and hang out once upon a time.

Again, it's exactly what the title suggests.

Have these two in my dad's office who passed away and has quite some retro gems here.

I would love to keep some of it, especially one of the monitors, but alas - space is nice, too, and I'm lacking time to set up something like a retro corner.

Sadly the anti-reflection coating is damaged on both. As far as I could test them at the time they both seem to be in good shape otherwise and in working order.

What would you say I could ask for those?

Or should I maybe keep the EIZO?

Found this for only $45

Good buy?

Big Sony is fried but the three small tubes all work great and have original remotes.

Cant figure out if these are sought after or not. Its in great conditions. Might make it one of my main tvs in my room for smash melee. Is it a wide screen?

Hello I’m new to the group!
I have a Orion tvdvd092 , that I took to get it fixed and the guy told me it was beyond his skill. He said the issue was that the tube or chip was overheating, but emphasized it was more the tube. He also said it was dropped and that why it messed up. Any help here. Is it still salvageable and is it worth it ?

I added photos of his work

I picked up the Sony Trinitron KV 1380 R at a Goodwill for 20 bucks the other day got out the nes and I’m noticing these weird squiggly lines seen an image is this normal or is something wrong? I’m pretty familiar with electronics and I’ve already taken it apart and do not see any leaking capacitors or anything of the sort the only issue this TV has that I am aware of is a blown speaker, but I would really appreciate if any of you know what is up. Thanks.

excuse the dirty game room corner, had a pipe bust right in this spot not that long ago so it's the only spot that's open to even put this thing right now, the neglected corner lol don't worry the pipe isn't gonna kill the TV, it's fixed. Gonna have to move crap around just for this guy

It might need some work not sure. I'll know when I get my component cables in tomorrow, could plug in a 360 but I'm a bit lazy right now. Actually had a pair but gave them along with the last PS2 I sold.

Definitely some geometry issues. Component looked way better though and got rid of the waviness i was seeing on text. There's definitely some geometry stuff going on though. Deflection caps and yoke i would assume needs adjusted.

BTW, if you have a Sony Bravia with a bravia esc remote. Those work for these things right off the bat, you don't need to buy a remote. I also got a 13 inch with it. Little Sylvania. It's also good, very bright, it may need a remote bought but I'm going to try some of my universal ones.

Under $50. After months of dealing with scalpers and straight up junkies.

Found this on eBay marketplace for 140€
