11:40 You should add ipad 3/4 to your list, took the guts out (motherboard/battery), bought a hdmi driver board for $15. Dremel/drilll out the port holes + solder ipad power button to the pcb to turn on/off + volume buttons for settings. Sealed it up with b7000 glue and its a sleeper 2k retina 4:3 display powered by USB-C. Great for old switch titles or fpga stuff like analogue/upcoming mister clone boards. Don't see anyone on youtube do this so I went in blind and it worked nicely. Should be great content for your channel.
RGB isn't pal/ntsc dependent. Plug a super famicom into a 50hz PAL telly and you would either get nothing or it would display in black and white. NTSC refreshed 60/second over 525 lines. PAL refreshed 50/second with 625 lines. If you had a full RGB scart socket and the correct lead then you get full screen NTSC but with the added bonus of a better picture as it running a 60hz input signal over 625 lines. Before cables were availablke we were making calkes that soldered straight to the pinouts in the rear of the output socket.
Thanks for the more detailed explanation! Yes, I wasn't clear on that maybe. The cable is modified for RGB display. The same cable also carries the signal which can be switched between 50 and 60Hz, two different things but using the same cable
What a bargain! Great TV's. I have an old small Sammy too, but not a 4:3, bought it for the 360 way back when. It's such a great set for consoles. £7 though! Cheers for the vid mate. Hair today, gone tomorrow eh? 😂
I used to own one of these for a few years. If you want it to live for a while, do yourself a favor and turn it on and have close listen to the back after you just power it up. The PSU boards from Samsung for this era are notorious for bad capacitors. You'll hear some high pitched buzzing and sputtering if they're on their way out. Id suggest replacing them before the ripple currents kill the power transistors and/or other components.
Great video, always cool to find an EDTV (I believe they’re called). In Gigawing please hold down the fire button to suck up enemy bullets and throw them back 😅
I agree that we are lucky to have these options for new TVs, I have a variety of adapters as well as an OSSC, but having a dedicated TV that brought the retro feel of the consoles along with it was pretty fun :)
I had a similar goal with the added requirements of Full HD resolution, component, and HDMI, so I could use it on my workbench to test any kind of game system. I found the LG M227WD for €20, which is a 22" Full HD 16:9 TV (so similar size to that TV at 4:3 with the black bars). But its inputs are stunningly complete-2x HDMI, DVI, VGA, S-Video, Component, Composite, 1x RGB-SCART, 1x CVBS-SCART, 1x TV-Antenna/RF (plus serial, USB, optical audio out and analog audio in). I haven't found a system yet that I can't connect to it and its game mode also seems to be decently low lag, although I use it more for testing than for playing. Mine, due to the secondhand nature of it, has a rattle (I couldn't figure out how to easily open it up yet, project for later) and the curious aspect that the RGB-SCART input has nasty streaking when using my original Gamecube RGB cable to a Gamecube or SNES. I have to figure out if that's a problem with the TV or the cable yet. If anyone has any tips... I'm also interested if anyone has found alternatives that are so inclusive with their inputs. Thanks for this video! People are literally throwing these old displays out.
Sounds like you got your hands on a good one there! Loads of connections. I wonder what's rattling around in there? Probably just a plastic clip or something, but that sort of thing always teases me to open these things up haha
@@TheAmazingMikey85 just a case of being patient. The 4:3 ratio of the screen is distinctive so it's always worth considering regardless of the brand. As I said in the video I wanted a Sony but I'm delighted with the Samsung. Only thing it's missing is a component input
There are many similar EDTV which pop up all the time on eBay and local classifieds. I personally use a Philips which uses IPS display panel, so gets one up on this Samsung which uses VA type panel. Search for my list of all the models "pixel perfect 480p edtv"

that's really intriguing! Thanks for sharing
Can you upload a vid. Of it?

Hahaha yes this video was my long hair's swan song. Glad you enjoyed the video, not often I find a bargain like that!

Thank you! I've replaced capacitors on a Samsung HDTV before so I agree it might be worth a check.
Very nice, probably marked as monitor because it has an old analogue TV tuner.
Ahhh yes, good point!

@@EsbenH ooooh I will try that thanks!
I can't be bothered with old TV's, I just ended up using a Retrotink 5X with my older systems on my modern TV. That said though, this looks brilliant.

That's awesome! I'm glad for you.
Such a good pick-up, proud of your find here Joe! 🙌
Thank you so much!
Another of your PS2 consoles where the orbs don't swirl around! I think the internal battery may need changing on this console too!
@@TimelordUK oh interesting! I'll have a look into it
Such a bargain on a beautiful display. Also once I got RGB scart for my SNES I couldn't ever use anything else.
It really look s great. Especially on a CRT
That really is a bargain find!

Great video as always! I’ll be keeping my eye out for one of these but I feel it might be like a needle in a haystack!

Nice pickup, I hope you enjoy a lot of retro gaming on it!
Thanks I will!
wow really nice
Thanks!
