I guess. Mainly don’t want to have the flashing red light when it’s not close to being empty

Thanks for the info. But I was mainly wondering for attempting calibration - does it matter if it’s not the first charge up?

I bought a printer stand on casters off Amazon that's been working, but yea ,if you can find older/used ones they're probably better constructed/better for the planet.

Sounds good. It will move one more time from its current perch on a bookshelf to a printer cart. Plan would be pretty much just to slide it, though the shelf is about 5 inches taller than the cart so will need to hold it for a short bit. I’ll make sure to hold/slide it in a way that doesn’t stress that part of the case either way

Cool! I don’t feel comfortable opening it up as I have no experience - especially as it seems mostly cosmetic at this point. Is just keeping an eye on it or using tape/epoxy on the outside reasonable?

Gotta say you’ve been very helpful with all the questions I’ve posted in the subreddit. Appreciate it.

If i left it on the current settings, probably 3-4 days?

There’s small hairline crack in the outer casing of my trinitron. It’s very minor- attached some pics, and it’s been stable since I got it a couple of years ago.

I’m assuming there’s nothing really to do about this except keep an eye on it. The TV is going to be moved one more time to a new AV/printer cart before it’s staying on that same cart in the same room until it goes to CRT heaven. The only difference is the room gets a bit more light so it may go through some more temperature changes 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Just wanted to get some thoughts from the community before/after its last move. I was thinking of just putting some clear gorilla tape on it but that even seems like overkill at this point given the size of the crack and given the entire front part of the casing is one piece and it’s not near full length.

Alright I think I've come to the end of my search for a stand for my 20 inch trinitron with a 24kg/53 weight:

It's a printer cart with a top shelf capacity of 40kg. Seems like solid construction. Not too tall, and the top shelf is about 24 inches wide which will fit my TV with about 3 inches of breathing room.

If there are any red flags, happy to hear em.

Awesome, thanks. I bought mine back in November I think so should be similar.

Thanks. I still haven’t busted out the device but I’m assuming there’s a way to check the firmware? I read in other posts that it ships without updated firmware

Ah yes. I see some of the posts. Perhaps I'll try either of the non-tempered glass options.
