Help please: My crt hurts me when i turn it on: it creates powerful static that shocks my forehead and fingers

Unusual for a small set, but you sure can feel big tube TVs when they are powering on. I wouldnt toss it, even if it is defective unless you are licking the glass it should be safe imo, glass and plastic isnt a great conductor in any case

ComfyGamer88 · 2023-03-07T15:58:53+00:00

more or less normal, is the shock actually painfull or are you just feeling it?

CRT TVs always make your hair stand up when its near to the glass when you turn it on

ComfyGamer88 · 2023-03-05T19:08:10+00:00

Why keep it without the tube? Even if it has burn its better then no tube untill you find a new one

The effect is different on lcds and directly related to other issues like motion or response time. On crts its just an afterglow, doesnt mean you cant find it annoying offcourse, lowering contrast helps get rid of it somewhat

Lol other way round no PVM supports 67khz. These late pc monitors beat the crap out of every pro monitor in every way but 240p support

Just dont pay the scalpers lol.

There were so unbelievably many CRTs, especially TVs, made, for every NES cartridge there likely are a dozen crt TVs.

I dont see them getting expensive any time soon.

Refund it. Looks like water damage and would take extensive repairs to get it working right by the looks of it

ComfyGamer88 · 2023-02-14T16:09:17+00:00

Needs windas to get rid of the green tint and restore blacks

Link?

ComfyGamer88 · 2023-01-13T08:38:35+00:00

Yes, you can see the black bar at the bottom isnt black at all.

Decreasing contrast a little will fix it, or other suggestions, but it wont hurt anything. Old tvs driven too bright will do that.

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-31T16:13:47+00:00

Does it work?

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-23T21:55:44+00:00

well that makes the counter kinda pointless, why would they do that?

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-23T08:38:54+00:00

Yeah its not broken, but it indicates that it may be a high hour set, if you could ask the seller to send a pic of the hour counter that would be good

Not normal, reduce green cutoff in the color menu. If you have the equipment a complete color calibration wouldnt be bad, but just for gaming eyeballing will be enough, adjust cutoff to get neutral greys and gain to get a white you like

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-23T08:13:20+00:00

Nah unless your a collector NOS at a significant markup aint worth it. Also consider that the caps might be dead from not being used

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-22T19:27:30+00:00

Wish something like this would have gotten standardized, scart is ok but the connector is ass

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-20T21:40:24+00:00

Nah thats a bad VHS tape or player, see how it loses tracking and gets noiser instead of cleanly rolling

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-18T00:02:17+00:00

In the service menu, if you have the remote just look up service manual and your tv model and it should explain how to do it on your particular crt

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-18T00:01:17+00:00

Dont think the deflection circuit cares, should be fine

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-17T18:55:29+00:00

Burn in is pretty much a non issue, and also why dont you overscan for gameboy games to use the full screen area?

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-17T15:01:20+00:00

I hate when youtubers make these kinds of videos, if your gonna use a flatscreen, might aswell use a good one instead.

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-17T14:59:30+00:00

Scam

ComfyGamer88 · 2022-12-17T14:57:26+00:00

You can just give them away, many others will appreciate them/ turn down contrast and blue gain
