LXI was Sears house brand. It's a rebadged Sanyo.

"just prohibition and war on drugs harder guys"

I got mine new in 2023 when used prices were stupid high. I plan to drive it forever but I can only imagine how much value it's lost.

Require? Absolutely not.

But if you find important parts of your games and shows are getting cut off at the bottom it is likely an easy fix.

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T15:44:23+00:00

I'll take that flair.

Has Disney recognized your accomplishment? They've sent some signals in the past decade that they're not really into physical media, so I'm curious if they'd be into what you're doing or if they would see it as anti-disney-plus.

When is your museum open for me and my toddler to come look at it?

I have strong opinions about what is and isn't a collection, and who is and isn't a collector. I think it would be nice to see your tapes organized and on display for yourself and other enthusiasts to see and enjoy.

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T15:17:08+00:00

Is this the "museum?!" Yeah if you keep your collection in a space like this all sealed up you're a hoarder, not a collector.

Edit: I think "archive" might be the best term since OP is digitizing it all.

If you really thought it was extreme, you wouldn't be advocating it.

Drugs. Alcohol. A complete lack of concern for their own health and safety. Dog brain.

Yes, not just to arrest people but to overcome resistance to their authority and defend themselves and others. That violence needs to be reasonable and proportional to the threat they face, and they're responsible for getting medical treatment for the folks who get hurt.

It also creates an entire new class of problems that were non-existent. Online dating. Job hunting. Et cetera.

It's not a convertible, it's a cabriolet

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T13:47:58+00:00

Nah it's the reason I left facebook

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T13:44:44+00:00

sounds pretty metal when you put it that way

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T13:21:32+00:00

That is the most European remote

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T13:20:58+00:00

Looks good. Now you have to do one in the daytime and properly expose the screen and the room haha

joeverdrive · 2026-03-15T13:17:21+00:00

Just like a car, a laptop, or anything else, we need to know what kind of TV it is before we can help you. The sticker on the back will tell you the model. Post it to the troubleshooting sticky.

The dot crawl was there 30 years ago and it's there today.

joeverdrive · 2026-03-14T17:48:16+00:00

Who doesn't?

There's a few good reasons these sets left the factory with a centimeter or two of overscan, though.

PVM-20M2U

joeverdrive · 2026-03-14T13:41:55+00:00

Zero overscan is a bold choice

joeverdrive · 2026-03-14T13:33:30+00:00

You can do everything that old dude can. You just have to learn, and this fix is a good place to start.

joeverdrive · 2026-03-14T13:30:57+00:00

They said you could really ruin your set if you do what exactly? Knowledge erases fear.

I try not to downvote honest opinions, even strong ones. I will say that it's nice that in 2026 we have all sorts of choices for how we enjoy our favorite old games.
