    Thanks again. I was happy to help with everything. The PVM looks great. I enjoyed the review also.

    I love how simplistic your videos are, not too overexaggerated or anything just a simple explaination about the topic

    I love the "Blue Only" function on those PVMs. You use it to quickly calibrate to the color bars of various sources; it's all very clever.

      I had a sony WEGA tv from around 2000 that in the service menu let you turn off R and G and then you could do the same thing. Very cool.

    I worked in broadcast in the 90s, and the Sony type monitors were the tops for standard def analog TV display on a CRT. They were all over the place. And a reason I bought a 19" consumer Trinatron in 1994. One of my favorite TVs until flat panels took over.

    So if a PVM was a Professional Video Monitor and a BVM was a Broadcast Video Monitor, then was a KVM a Konsumer Video Monitor? Because Sony's consumer-grade TVs all had model numbers beginning with KV or KVM.

    I just bought the 19 inch version of this (1943MD) about a month ago and it's fantastic. Great choice in PVM series!

      I have the same too and it’s great for gaming. It’s sharper than a consumer Trinitron, even that later ones.

    I'm just happy to see you finished that Sonic 2 level! Thought you were gonna leave us hanging there. You make me want to start playing and collecting Genesis games again, Benny-boy. Anyway, nice monitor.

    I found one of these to use with my Commodore 128. I paid $3! Great monitor.

  • @ntsecrets

    Those monitors were the bomb, I have an older one with the EIAJ connector and RGB inputs, multisync etc and it was by far the best small video monitor I ever had.

  • @SnabbKassa

    In the days of UK analogue cable, we used to bypass the decoder and plug the coax directly into the TV, and then scan around on UHF and find unencrypted channels that weren't even available on the paid-for channel packages for our area. It wasn't porn. It was just extra, weird stuff.

  • @michaelcarpenter2498
    @michaelcarpenter2498 Рік тому +3

    That was a great video. The monitor has a great picture and I can see how retro gamers want one. The video game playing is about my level, so do not feel bad.

    PAL and SECAM are stored the same on the tape (pal) it's the VCR player that converts during playback.
    Also it was easier to make a PAL multistandard to support NTSC than the oppsosite, since the only thing needed is to circumvent the line delay from the color demodulation circuit, and thus not reverse phase on every second frame. Apart from supporting the different scanning lines and frame rates (this is more easy).

    • @t0nito
      @t0nito Рік тому

      Nope, PAL and SECAM aren't stored the same on tape. MESECAM plays fine on PAL VCRs but SECAM recorded taped will play in black and white on PAL only VCRs. My aunt brought SECAM tapes from France and they would play in black and white on our PAL VCR.

    I had Keystone Kapers with my hand me down Atari. Took me forever to get the hang of the thing because I got it without the instructions. All I can remember is being attacked by grocery karts and waiting forever for those stupid elevators to work, though I still know those odd sound effects very well.

    I would have actually loved to see you keep playing Sonic 2, to be honest! Maybe some day you could do a video where you just play a game and commentate!

    the sega genesis has composite and I think even y/c out via a DIN connector on the back, I used to use an old c64 cable that fit and would give me video from it (had to use one of the audio plugs since the pinout is different).

    Great sutff. Obv you aren't doing asmr, even incidentally. Retro Recipes just released a Trinitron teardown video where Björk does do asmr! Yes, that Björk.

    16 bit? That rgbi input would be perfect for an 8 bit C128. If you can't find a 1084 monitor for less in your area

    That sony tuner unit was handy for public access shoots in the field from "live drops" where you would monitor the return signal to see if you were actually on the cable. I've seen them in trucks too for that purpose.

  • @ntsecrets

    Does it have auto 75ohm termination on the inputs? My older one had switches for that, but yours doesn't and I can't imagine they'd just leave it out without replacing it with something better? Or maybe its not a true loop-through like on the old ones.

    • @OddityArchive
      @OddityArchive  Рік тому

      According to the spec sheet, it's automatic.

    You only get these over a consumer tv to use rgb. Scart cable on the console and a female scart to bnc cable for the monitor. If youre happy with composite then just get a tv

    Monitors like this are mostly desired by the Fighting Game Community because they have no input delay.

    • @OddityArchive
      @OddityArchive  Рік тому

      I don't remember offhand. Whatever the common one you'd find at Best Buy was back in the late '90's/early 2000's. No special features or anything on that one.

    you don't seem to have a SECAM tape. Ask me if you wish one, I've got many of this standards on my closet.
    It was the norm in France for decades.

    • @OddityArchive
      @OddityArchive  Рік тому +1

      I have a part PAL/part SECAM off-air tape somewhere…at the bottom of a box somewhere. Figured a PAL test would be good enough to get the point across.
