Sure, I wouldn't mind seeing how text looks. Especially something like Zork Zero who had weird fringy double hi-res 80 column text.

While I'm here, I have a technical question. I have a PVM 14N1U that has a weird issue. After being on for 10-20 minutes the screen goes very blue (like the gun is turned up all the way) and the text gets smeary, even on the on screen display menu. If you turn it off and wait a minute it will...

Looks good. When I discovered some convergence issues with my IIe monitor I tried all my other composite capable monitors including my 14" PVM, Commodore 1702, JVC TM-H1750C, and Amiga 1080. Even though they're all superior monitors the picture looked 'wrong'. Either the scanlines were way...

The thing is, the Apple II was made with composite in mind. so many things don't look right in VGA. The IIgs is a better choice for VGA.

I have an F18a in mine so I can hook it up to a VGA monitor. The output is amazing.

Well if everyone else is going to show off their small CRT porn...

That's my plan for the future. Especially now with the 4K.

Most of my computer monitors for my older computers are 14" (as was the standard size at the time) so it doesn't really bother me much. You just have to sit a little closer.

I actually remember continuing to use the RF out on my NES even when I got a newer TV because I thought the composite on the side looked and sounded funny. I had no idea at the time that it was actually superior.

I was using either a 1943MD or a KV-27FS100 so the 20M4U is a nice upgrade. Especially since my 27" has all sorts of geometry/convergence issues.

I'm still not sure I see what all the hype is about the 20M4U and its 800TVL, but it does look pretty darn nice. I ended up getting it for a song ($300) because it had that three line issue and needed a recap. I actually got two at that price but I gave my friend the other one for what I paid...

I'm sure I'll keep fiddling with it as my OCD allows, but I'm pretty happy with the way things look right now. Are the colors 100% correct? Who knows? Do they look better than the presets? Definitely. I honestly don't think I'll be able to get much better without a color meter or some other...

Turns out they're grayed out, but you can still adjust them. How odd. I changed the green bias from 512 to 410, hopefully that will fix things.

I have my brightness set to the middle (or the bump on the knob) so my blacks aren't gray, but I do have my contrast cranked up to about 80% because I think it looks better. When I turn it down everything starts getting dim and lifeless.

I'm almost 100% sure that BIAS and grayed out when using RGB. Both in the regular and service menu.

I didn't see anything labeled cut off in the service menu. For USER (the user adjusted color temp) I did see Red and Green B/O but I'm not sure if that's cutt off or not. Adjusting it didn't seem to make much of a difference, but I didn't change it too much since I wasn't sure what it was...

I honestly haven't noticed it outside of the color bars. Do you think I need to mess with it? I'm not sure I want to tinker with things like that in the SM if I don't have to (I limit myself to geometry for the most part). I think I have it looking good enough right now. Maybe it's not quite...

Ok and what do I do with it? How do I use it to fix that?

I have a 5X Pro that I was going to use as a CRT replacement, but as it turns out my TV is too old and crappy so when the screen scrolls with dark backgrounds/graphics everything dims until it stops scrolling (refresh rate is too slow I guess). The 4K is probably good enough to replace CRTs for...

What exactly do you mean by 'progressively faded color bars match each other'. Can you give me a screenshot example? I don't think I'm getting it. :)
