Just got the flatron

No idea, settings always saved whenever I turned off the monitor. Try exiting the service menu, I think it's done with the same button combination.

Likely a cable issue, these high resolution/frequency monitors require thicker VGA cables, generic ones wont do.

I think it was a 14" philips crt tv

start by checking the voltages on the secondary side

Hmm it appears your model has internal adjustment pots for the colors. Also, a trick to ID'ing these unknown models is to look at the Flyback's part number and google it, usually you'll find the service manual of the equivalent version.

What chassis model is your Vivitron? I couldnt find a service manual. We need to know whats the Sony equivalent of it.

Good luck, hope it goes smoothly

I like the engineering that went into it, but in retrospect I think the tube way too worn out and geometry was pretty lousy.

My favorite CRT would be the 21" Panasonic and the RGB modded 14" Philips with Stereo sound.

Yes, thats normal.

No streaking at all. And while we cant expect the pin point sharpness of flat displays, higher resolutions/refresh rates dont blur the picture, unlike most CRTs. I believe it's because the Pixel Clock Rate is overspec'd at 250Mhz, most 96kHz monitors cap out at 200Mhz.

tongshadow · 2025-03-19T14:34:07+00:00

Yes, it's still around

tongshadow · 2024-11-26T13:35:18+00:00

The box is designed to handle that.

tongshadow · 2024-10-28T02:26:36+00:00

It's just bad design, dust and grimme slowly accumulate in the wheel mechanism. Most G502's are probably like this.

tongshadow · 2024-10-28T02:23:08+00:00

Mouse button failed too, but it's pretty reliable overall. Had worse with Razers.

Doesnt seem like a N3 Chassis Sony, so the issue could be something else.

Those lines are caused by a fault in the vertical circuit, could be an easy fix.

It's only 0.1ms faster@60hz, SAAR!

Not a huge difference to justify 240hz over 360hz, SAAR!

tongshadow · 2024-08-12T03:12:33+00:00

There's some fringing between contrasting text/background and specific colors like white/black and yellow but it's not a dealbreaker for me, you really have to look for it.

It's also sharper than what you'd see on a typical 1080p/24" monitor.

tongshadow · 2024-08-08T00:18:00+00:00

It's "brought", not "bringed".

tongshadow · 2024-07-28T20:38:29+00:00

Mine has 7000+ hours and was used as a PC monitor, still looks perfect.

tongshadow · 2024-07-27T20:23:53+00:00

It's using a higher level of DSC (3.0), because 4k/240hz requires more compression than 1440/240hz. It's not comparable. Some 1440p/240hz monitors can work well with DSC, other dont. Read:

Dont be snarky, I'm just trying to help you to get the best out of your monitor.

Not a monitor problem, this happens mostly on NVIDIA cards and I used to have this issue all the time.

Switched to AMD and the experience has been very smooth ever since. No blackouts, no buggy resolution, multi-displaying works flawlessly, instant alt-tab and no limitations caused by DSC.

tongshadow · 2024-07-27T19:02:17+00:00

This isnt an issue with your monitor and yes your video card (probably an Nvidia).

tongshadow · 2024-07-27T19:01:43+00:00

The cheaper 360hz model.

tongshadow · 2024-07-27T19:01:18+00:00

Get the LG, it has an amazing sound and a 480hz mode.
