^^Sexy... this PC-FX . But why oh, why that bean? Aren't you a bolshy little madam.
I wouldn't say that's too expensive for that model pvm, considering how sought after it is and the area he lives. There are other factors as well like conditioning and functionality. You can use that knowledge whenever you try to haggle.
But for that specific PVM I would not offer more than $20. It might be an easy fix like just switching the settings on the menu. But it could also be something you can't fix and you end up with dead weight.
Get one of the sony hd crts for that?
he ended up pulling the auction so he either got an offer or he fixed it himself and decided to keep it. I'm just having a lot of trouble finding a solution for my early 2000's needs. The PVM is great (though mine is a bit to small) for pre ps2 stuff and I have a 4k TV for anything HD era and up but it seems like getting the most from the ps2/Xbox/Wii is a slight challenge. maybe the ps2 doesn't but a large selection of Wii and Xbox games support widescreen and 480P and I'd like a TV to play them that way.
Right now I just have a Samsung CRT SDTV with component that I use for that purpose and its Okay but nothing spectacular. I wish EDTV's were more common. I've been looking at CRT HDTV's but as I only moved to this area relatively recently I don't have a buddy to help me move a 200lb TV so I'm trying to look at sets around 27 inches but it seems the big tubes are far more common.
I'm starting to wonder if a 480i image over component on a SDTV is the same or better then a 480p image on a HDTV anyways. will a CRT HDTV at 480p still mess with the image since its still a HDTV I assume there are still extra lines on the screen it needs to fill in or am I incorrect? Maybe I'm better off just grabbing a high end Sony SDTV?
The dude made it sound like the second coming of jesus.
Quick question. Is there a way to adjust to vertical position on one of those 14" PVM monitors? I'm using one with my Exidy Sorcerer (an early Z-80 based computer) and it is displaying way off screen on the top and bottom. I know the bigger PVMs have these adjusts inside the case, but I wasn't sure if the smaller ones do.
I want to give a big thanks to city41 for hooking me up with this sweet 8" BVM. I love it. Nice and small, easy to move around.

Depends on the model but generally if it's not in the service menu then there's a pot for it inside. Check some of the service manuals here (not all are in the first post as I've lost the ability to edit it);

I think it's a 14m4u. I'll take a look at the manual.

Press Menu, then Degauss + Enter to go into the service menu. Unlike later PVMs, you have to press up and down to see one setting at a time. The vertical adjustment settings should be close the "beginning," just before the geometry settings. I believe you have to press Degauss to write/save the settings before exiting out.
Turns out it's either a 14L1 or 14N1U (I need to check). There doesn't seem to be service mode as far as I can tell. If I hold the two buttons down I can get some letters and numbers to appear, but I don't think they're options. It looks like it's displaying variables of some sort. I saw nothing to adjust geometry.
We really ought to create a wiki with pages for every model of PVM, with each page having the specs/inputs, the brochure, the service manual, common gotchas, etc.
