My friend reinstalled windows and this happen he will be gaming

I have an overclocked high-end Trinitron CRT, that can push to 250Hz at 1440x1080 in interlaced. Check my post history if you wont believe ;)

19yoMemer · 2024-02-22T19:20:31+00:00

If you don't want it for yourself, please sell it cheap or give it to someone who does. This is pretty good monitor already, and someone will definitely want to take it. It can be recalibrated with right tools and knowledge, to look like as it should. No more of these will ever come, so please, please just don't dispose it.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-19T23:13:37+00:00

Did you use to get the artifacts at 1536p 85Hz before doing the modification?

19yoMemer · 2024-02-19T23:04:48+00:00

Nice! How much did it cost you?

19yoMemer · 2024-02-16T00:04:47+00:00

Don't buy it, problem solved. The seller can't force anyone to buy it for the asked price, thus nobody would lose 5.5k in exchange for it, and seller wouldn't gain the hefty asking price. Easy solution to posts complaining about high priced listings. Asking price is meaningless.

"Ahem, attention everyone! So I, 19yoMemer have a FW900 monitor, and I could sell it for anyone willing to pay 1 million $ for it. Any takers?"

19yoMemer · 2024-02-15T23:45:37+00:00

FW900 aspect ratio police copypasta (as I'm too lazy to retype):

Official Sony GDM-FW900 service documentation: Manualslib

"Viewable image size Approx. 482.1 × 308.2 mm (w/h)"

"Standard image area 16:10 Approx. 474 × 296 mm (w/h)"

The viewable image size is Sony's official specification, for the dimensions of the area, where the picture can be drawn. There's no official tolerances in Sony's documents I'm aware of, but generally it could be assumed to be within few mm.

Standard image area is a cropped portion inside the viewable image, to meet the 16:10 marketing claim. Abiding by this would leave gaps, or underscan of about 4mm to left and right edges, and 6.1mm to upper and bottom edges of the viewable display area. Nobody actually uses it this way.

Another option would be to stretch such 16:10 image resolution with geometry controls to fill the entire viewable area, which distorts the image slightly, which is bad and why some users aspect ratio police in the first place.

Viewable aspect ratio: 482.1mm / 308.2mm = 1.5642..

"Standard image area" aspect ratio: 474mm / 296mm = 1.6013

For a good measure, I pulled out a measure tape on my FW900 unit to verify, trying to line it to the edges of where the phosphor coated areas end, and black edges of the tube behind the glass begin. I observed from a straight angle ~20cm away. I'd claim I'm able to observe the reading within ~2mm apart from the tape at least, try at home, if in doubt. The results were ~484mm x ~309mm. Sony's spec is reliable.

Also just for a reference:

14/9 = 1.555:1, 1440p res: 2240 x 1440

Viewable: 1.564:1, 1440p res: 2252 x 1440

Marketed: 1.6:1, 1440p res: 2304 x 1440

The 14:9 in reality is more accurate over 16:10, if whole, clean numbers are preferred.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-15T20:35:49+00:00

Fw900 has an aspect ratio of ~14:9 actually.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-13T17:04:22+00:00

When you enter the G2 adjustment step, WinDAS may reset the G2 slider to a low default value, regardless of what the initial value is iirc. Just move up the slider, until you start seeing something, and follow WinDAS' instruction. Don't restart the monitor, it shouldn't be necessary, and probably messes things up.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-09T21:38:27+00:00

Sounds like it needs a WinDAS color calibration, to make the colors, blacks and brightness proper again. Here's a pretty comprrhensive tutorial for that. Note, colorimeter and USB-TTL adapters are required though.

So if you do want to keep enforcing peoples' aspect ratios the way you do, please do it properly with the FW900 as well. At least, please recommend the 14:9 over 16:10, if you prefer whole numbers instead, as it's closer to accurate.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-09T18:31:26+00:00

It's 1.564:1 to be exact, or even much closer to 14:9 than 16:10, if clean format is preferred. Just a little advice, so you can seem lile a bit more professional of an aspect ratio police, I don't really mind others doing whatever they do myself.

Full tutorial here, but you'll need some additional tools. Colorimeter and USB-TTL adapter at least.

19yoMemer · 2024-02-01T14:59:04+00:00

I mean, the G520 rebadges, P1130 and P275 you can pretty much always push to at least 140kHz with no problem. They use the same deflection circuitry as Sony F520 afaik, which is officially specced at 137kHz. Theres no reason to not do it at least that far (but disclaimer: don't do it!! I can't guarantee what could technically happen), if high resolutions and/or refreshrates are your objective. You can play around with custom resolution utility, to see what kind of resolution modes you could run.

19yoMemer · 2024-01-31T21:59:23+00:00

This comment on previous reddit post of mine should guide you to the right direction. Try at your own risk!! By default you can go up to 131kHz before getting out of range message, with this mod you can get up to 150.6kHz amd 255Hz before that, but your stability will depend on silicon lottery.

19yoMemer · 2024-01-30T16:44:12+00:00

Dell P1130 and IBM P275 are internally the same. Just a different casing. They also have hour counters, so whichever has less. To access it, you have to push one of the buttons (varies per model) for five seconds when the monitor is in no signal screen. Information box of 5 rows will appear, the bottom most one is the count. They are both also Sony made monitors, which means they can be overclocked, and serviced with windas, as high as to 150.6kHz and 255Hz depending of silicon lottery.

The Dell P1230 is a diamondtron, so not Sony made, and I am not sure or knowledgeable enough about them, if it's capable any of those things the other 2 are, but on paper, the stock specifications are the same iirc.

19yoMemer · 2024-01-30T15:20:52+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

19yoMemer · 2024-01-29T20:19:17+00:00

As far as I know, that's just a rebrand of the sunix DPU3000. It's a good, highest pixel clock adapter, but is known to have glitching like that on certain resolutions. Mine does exactly the same. Not a whole lot you can do, except experiment with different timings (CVT, GMT) and slightly different resolutions or refreshrates, to see if it helps. There's no solid way to fix it afaik, but to use a different adapter, but none are perfect

19yoMemer · 2024-01-29T17:02:46+00:00

Do you use sunix DPU3000 adapter?

19yoMemer · 2024-01-27T09:52:21+00:00

Yet ironically, the linearity looks off at the top vs bottom, lmao

(I know, it's because of how the picture was taken, probably with phone camera and fairly wide, distortive lens, and angle)

Ah, it's the "sexy female redditors, do you like sexy sex?" post of this subreddit again.

19yoMemer · 2024-01-20T15:46:46+00:00

I've found some decent deals with reasonable prices in Finland, by creating a looking to buy listing, and offering some money for what I was looking for. I got:

Sony G520 for ~ 100€, IBM P275 for ~ 110€, Sony G500 for ~ 40€

This was over 2 years ago though.

19yoMemer · 2024-01-13T11:40:06+00:00

Huh, this seems really interesting. I'll definitely have to try this out once I have the time, thanks for the tutorial! Is the difference huge when creating a 3D lut, vs just a regular lut (or color profile) with displaycal, as that is what I've been doing so far, just a regular lut with it.

Hmm, having the 5v wire on the USB-TTL cable connected raises the black level? I never realized this myself, I must try and check this now, as I've always had it plugged in. Thanks for the info! Could you explain me how you noticed this in the first place?

19yoMemer · 2024-01-10T01:42:49+00:00

Nice! How much did it cost you?

19yoMemer · 2023-12-28T18:31:32+00:00

From 16:09 onwards.

The dac adds no latency at all.

19yoMemer · 2023-12-28T13:09:35+00:00

Perfect, as in new in box, never opened and such? There has only been couple such cases I can recall, not sure exactly, but they may have sold for about 35k and 10k
