Just some random shots on my PVM20L2 via RGB. It’s been such a busy week that I’ve barely had time to tinker with it. Really loving the clarity and stability of the image - it’s so calm compared to the constantly blooming consumer sets that I’m used to.

Ah, I see you are a person of culture as well.

Finally got around to messing around with the standard and service menu settings on the Sony - Trinitron KV-27FV310. Still needs improvement, but almost there. A little Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker, and Mario Kart Double Dash action on the Nintendo GameCube through Nintendo GameCube DOL-010 Component Cable to the Sony - Trinitron KV-27FV310.

Great shots!

I never would have bothered to hunt down a PVM if we had that set here. I have the closest equivalent but it doesn’t have the voltage regulator so while it has a sharp image it suffers from quite a bit of bloom.

Sorry for the double post but I’ve finally had a chance to sit and tinker with my PVM 20L2 and calibrate it for colour and contrast. What I found was the previous owner had cranked up the sub-brightness and sub-contrast which other than destroying the blacks and scanlines was really putting the voltage regulator through its paces on bright screens. Anyway I’m not completely happy with it yet as I need to make a yoke adjustment and fix some slight convergence issues in the corners.

Thank you!

I just acquired a Capcom Impress from the lovely @New002. Some shots. This is where all of my money is going next year.

Just a few more shots on my PVM20L2 I’m really loving where I’ve got it at the moment and I’ll make some adjustments over the weekend.

Yup it’s Crash 2.

I love the low poly models and snappy colours in that game.

Good low poly stuff still looks so good in RGB on a CRT.

Absolutely - especially gouraud shaded polygons the way the scanlines break them up and add a bit of texture to them is so appealing to me.

Link’s Awakening on my recently acquired monochrome monitor. I don’t even own a composite cable for SNES etc so pulled the image from the composite line on a scart pin, the game is set to black and white so should be pretty close to a plain luma signal.

SFC 1 Chip with C11 ghosting fix via RGB on Sony PVM-20L2

I’ve nearly got this set perfect I’m just waiting on some safety gear to arrive so I can make the final yoke and convergence adjustments.
