theres a guy near me locally selling a PVM20L5 which he claims is not working for $200 which IMO is a lot of money for a possibly dead monitor. thing is in his pictures the menu screen comes up so it seems the tube itself may be fine and I wonder if its just bad settings. he claims he only has tried S-video and did not get an image. I asked about the menu screen and he says it displays but the image is "jumpy" like its going from 240p to 240i all the time.
I noticed his format is set to "forced NTSC" I wonder if that's the reason for the issues. I don't know. I'm not a CRT tech but it's awfully tempting to make an offer but last thing I need is a 100 pound cube for a doorstop.
200 USD? way too much for a PVM.
So being new to this forum and checking out the sweetness of crt's, I took it upon myself to get a Nec 3PG. Any advise on what to buy to hook my neo geo up to this beast?

Finally came up with a solution for stacking my PVM on, with enough room to drag out the old Samsung while I was at it!

I have the same Samsung set. Bought it brand new out of college with my first design commission! Haha. Up until recently I had been using it with a CSY2100 clone and I argue it looked just as good as a PVM-2030/2530 with better geometry. It even has built in test screens for tweaking geometry. I really like it but am struggling to find a reason to keep it now that I have an XM29.
This is from a comparison I did on my Samsung a while back. It really has a fantastic picture.
I have no idea, I'll have to check. I have the same rgb to component converter and it is really stunning on this set. The pvm blows it out if the water on color clarity though, dunno if that's because if the tv or the transcoder.
Ashenlight, if that monitor is the same as mine (olympus) then it's not picky about sync at all, it's worked with everything I've ever tried with it.
Those 8" BVMs I just picked up whine like stuck pigs. It's really loud and more pronounced than any crt I've ever seen.
Hi guys
I am trying to buy a decent sony crt as well, I have 2 options:
The BVM 2016p. The problem is, I can't find any info on this. Is it a good monitor and what is the resolution ? Would be great if someone can provide some more info.
Option 2:PVM 2730qm. Nice big screen, but resolution only 480. Is this still a good monitor to have ? Also compared with euro consumer crt's that accept RGB ?
Thanks
