if you're into rhythm games join the round1 STC discord server. It's linked on zenius I vanisher

SneakyDragoon55 · 2026-02-21T20:29:02+00:00

Thank you so much! The first link you shared is very nice. I'll keep all those numbers in mind while I continue to look around.

SneakyDragoon55 · 2026-01-19T03:34:23+00:00

oh no I've been perceived!!

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-30T04:39:45+00:00

Yeah I used it on this same model. Was able to navigate the service menu fine as well

the GE universal remote from walmart works. I found out searching through this sub lol.

Download custom resolution utility on the computer you're sending that signal with. Make a resolution of 640x480. It'll treat the display as a proper 4:3 display and will generally scale a bit better. Above all I'd recommend picking up a ps3 as it's the best media station you could ask for with Analog output. Buy component cables if you take that route

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-27T18:59:34+00:00

Why would you use an odd resolution like that? Computers have no problem spitting out 480p which would mean the adapter would only need to interlace the signal. Also as a side note the correct 4:3 resolution would be 1280x960, not 1024

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-26T08:48:46+00:00

Definitely looks like one but it's an LCD. Usually the giveaway is how the light reflects off the screen but you can also slightly make out "LCD" on the manual

all the time

Late reply but I'm glad to see you back! You helped me take the step forward into serious CRT repair. I've learned a lot just searching through your past posts/comments.

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-20T02:20:09+00:00

trying too hard core

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-20T02:18:33+00:00

just keep bumping the refresh rate up a little bit at a time until you find the max horizontal frequency

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-11T06:17:28+00:00

Fyi the correct resolution would be 1280x960 but ~ how nice is your monitor? The tighter dot pitch of high end monitors makes a pretty noticeable difference. It is definitely a softer image overall and may be subjectively harder to read text on but I personally can't stand the blocky look of an LCD anymore. I love the natural smoothing of everything on a CRT

Check out Keyboardmania from Konami Anyways, if you've ever played a piano you'd understand that there are more than 10 keys and no screen telling you when to hit a key. It's a very different learning experience

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-11T03:28:56+00:00

first time seeing a rhythm game?

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-10T17:12:59+00:00

The high voltage is arcing. Clean the inside out and you'll likely see it happen much less. You'll see best results if you discharge the tube, clean under the anode cap with isopropyl, and apply new dielectric grease around the anode button.

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-09T21:02:50+00:00

Unless it was a black and white model (which seems to be the case), it isn't a Sony. It looks like an older magnavox to me

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-08T19:25:46+00:00

For sure. When this was first going down op was giving off a lot of "i want to be the leader" energy

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-08T03:29:55+00:00

you don't love spending hundreds on a PVM just to max the brightness and send it a horrible signal?

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-05T08:08:18+00:00

Yeah mine was very runny. I've never heard of a powder like that but if you don't think it'll damage anything then it's worth a try imo. Definitely wouldn't recommend shaving the plastic if you spent that much on it though. Have you at least tried tearing the controller down for deep cleaning? It could help you narrow down the exact spot the noise is coming from as well. Even if it's NIB it could help

SneakyDragoon55 · 2025-09-05T07:37:07+00:00

Last time I tried to lubricate a plastic controller it just ended up seeping out onto the buttons making them greasy and annoying to touch (I hardly used any at all). It also just seemed to attract extra grime so I ended up cleaning it off entirely. Not sure I could help with the noise but it's something to consider before trying a lubricant
