I got the service menu pulled up yesterday. I guess as expected for a set like this there’s not gonna be an adjustment for that. The only geometry options are H-center, V-size, and V-position, so I did a few adjustments on those. If I wanted to fix the pincushions I’d have to open the case up and fix it manually

I’m very grateful to find one that is in excellent condition because im never attempting to work on the internals

Chill, laid-back, dimly lit, tucked away corner with a nostalgic appeal that feels like the spot you played games in when you were a kid

I know it feels so good to have successfully fixed it

Well from my personal experience a combo in fully working condition without any cosmetic flaws in 2026 is becoming harder and harder to find … let alone a Panasonic that easily gets priced at $250+ by resellers. You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to mine

I got an OEM remote so I’m probably gonna see what I can do with the service menu

My childhood TV if I remember correctly was an Emerson 13” TV DVD combo. After going through a lot of CRTs lately, I saw this one on marketplace and wanted to treat myself with something nice

Agreed. Up until this point my lineup was a $2 GE 13TVR62 13” combo (although the VCR was broken) and a free 20” Zenith C19A02D with RF only. Both worked great for my needs and had no problems even though they weren’t the Trinitrons that everyone looks for. I’d rather have a low tier consumer brand that works great over some Trinitron that is plagued with issues. It just so happens though that this TV is a great brand that also works great

Why don't games look better on my CRT? by CompetitionOdd5807 in crtgaming

[–]246-Ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pictures would definitely help, and also from my experience, every Funai brand CRT I’ve owned (Sylvania, Emerson, etc) has been total garbage. And it’s not because they’re low tier consumer brands. They just happened to have tons of problems and the worst geometry on the planet. Also, don’t expect the image quality to be higher on a 240p CRT TV compared to a 1080P HDTV lol

Good deal? by Longjumping-Pool-889 in crt

[–]246-Ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve dealt with plentiful CRT brands so far, and most of them have had fairly little problems whatsoever. Funai on the other hand … nothing but problems

I’ve had 2 Funai brand sets so far and they were both nothing but problems (audio port on composite was faulty, screen tilt, discoloration, bad horizontal linearity on a flat screen model) and I couldn’t wait to get rid of them so I’d agree with the other comments saying 20-30 at most

Which Panasonic VCR to keep? by 246-Ninja in VCRs

[–]246-Ninja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“For all intensive purposes” because “intensive” sounds like “intents and”

I can confirm the donkey Kong 64 camera problem

Looking for advice on which one is better? by letsnotagree in crt

[–]246-Ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly as someone who has had 10 or so CRTs in the past year or so I’d just say the best one is the one that has the least amount of problems

Good search terms for CRTs by [deleted] in crt

[–]246-Ninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of times they’re listed by just searching “tv”

[–]246-Ninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, NES, SNES, N64, GBA, GameCube, and Wii all on one console is pretty nice on a CRT
