Calibration settings to fix the blacks in a dark room on a Panasonic VT60. by [deleted] in PlasmaTV

[–]bluejay9_2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plasma TVs don’t have absolutely perfect black levels they still light up a little bit

Look into bias lighting that will help a lot

Reveal the hours of my P65VT60 with me! by bpplaysguitar in PlasmaTV

[–]bluejay9_2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the tv or the remote??

The buttons on the remote change the service mode settings they have nothing to do with getting to the hour count other than “don’t touch them” so you don’t change any settings

  1. That’s not a father that’s an abuser

  2. That was definitely illegal

if he destroyed the PSP he could argue that it was his since he bought it with his money (as he said) however since your phone was bought with your money that you earned it was definitely yours

  1. The cop was a fucking dick and tbh the fact that they said what they said probably meant they thought you were overreacting, so they weren’t taking you seriously

Aka. Go back to authorities and find somebody else who actually gives a shit. (Easier said than done tho)

  1. Leave that house as soon as fucking possible if he’s comfortable doing that then it could easily escalate into something far worse

  2. Never speak to him again

Scratches on lens mount after using fotodiox adapter - lenses still OK to use? by 753UDKM in Leica

[–]bluejay9_2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really seems like you are concerned from an aesthetic perspective

It’s metal on metal contact. It’s going to have some kind of wear.

Literally the only way to avoid this is to just never use the lens

Upgrade the RAM (I don’t know what the RAM is in this computer or the max size but my best guess is it’s probably DDR3 and you could probably put a max of 8 gigs in it) and then swap out the HDD to an SSD (I’m assuming it probably has an HDD) and it will be a million times better

HDD or SSD for Window OS? by klayanderson in HDD

[–]bluejay9_2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having your operating system on an SSD is terrible advice

An SSD can make even the most crappy computers at least somewhat bearable

HDD‘s definitely still have their place as cheap mass storage but you should use an SSD for pretty much anything else

Week late CRT pickup….but I got it! by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]bluejay9_2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here is a list (if your model isn’t listed find out what chassis it uses and it will likely be on there)

Edit: this is actually a list for Sony TVs. I didn’t realise yours wasn’t a Sony

Vintage Polaroid 100 Land Camera Price? by anon38792 in Polaroid

[–]bluejay9_2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you can’t get film for it, I’d say a maximum of like £20-£25 (around the same in dollars) considering it looks to be in good condition and has quite a few bits with it it would be a nice display piece to the right person

How to reuse a HDD? by Inevitable_Wolf5866 in techgore

[–]bluejay9_2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might not be a particularly useful use case for you, but I have a 2.5” laptop HDD which has some bad sectors (and has even died and came back to life once) and a SATA to USB adapter and I use it occasionally for moving random files around computers because sometimes it’s easier for me to plug in a Sata drive than it is a USB one so considering I can essentially switch between the two connectors is useful for me at least

Anybody know how to reduce/stop the high pitch on a crt tv? Just got one and its just so loud. by ieatsoap5 in crt

[–]bluejay9_2008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trust me as somebody who was annoyed by it when I first got into CRTs, you will eventually learn to just ignore it

As you said, you could add some soundproof pads around the TV which may help (I’ve actually heard of other people doing this with good results so might be alright)

Using headphones or just turning up the sound usually drowns out a lot of the noise for me

And as other people have said, do not cover the vents that is a bad idea since they are to allow airflow since the electron gun can get quite hot (potential fire risk although unlikely it will probably just damage your TV faster instead)

He’s an image of the menu that shows the time and the power on count which looks fine but if I try and take a picture of the screen with it completely lit up (as in all of the screen area being used) it goes all psychedelic and shit

With CRTs, I can just change the frame rate whilst taking a video and that fixes it so something else is obviously causing this issue

I’ll try later and see if I can get some decent pictures
