Thanks for watching! - Наука та технологія
Anyone want to come hangout with me on October 30th? I'll be presenting here: musiccitymulticon.com/guests/
Did you see my lovely headshot? Oh and Billy Mitchell will be there, 😆!
Geez these are so much more complicated than the consumer sets I usually mess with, must be a headache putting this thing back together LOL.
Yeah, it's a pain to reassemble these.
im watching this in a humble syncmaster 1280p crt and ooh god... i have had forgotten how much better these things look..
color more accurate, more realistic sharpness, and beautiful contrast
Excuse my poor English
I use to have a Sony 14L5 in my collection Steve. What a unit is was. I sold it because someone wanted it more than me. It went to a good home for sure. 8^)
Anthony..
I got rid of all my L5 monitors also. Now they are too expensive for me to buy back, lol. They have a good reputation for a reason.
Thanks Anthony.
I love this model!
Got mine from the scrapyard here in Brazil, it was supposedly not turning on. Paid R$650 (around U$115) betting I could fix it, turns out it just takes 1 to 2 minutes to start working, and the tube looks brand new! I got the cap kit from savon-pat hoping to solve the issue (since it looks like a cap problem) and to preserve other components from running with the wrong specs.
The only one concern I have today is dirty power from the wall, witch is really common around here. Would love to hear your opinion on the matter!
Anyway, love your work Steve!
Aren't there external transformers you can buy?
@badreality2 I'm reading about power conditioners and regulators, trying to discover which features are relevant for my use case, and then find one that can also fit into my tight budget xD
Found one at work yesterday, and it's in pretty good condition. Gonna get it recapped at some point, just to be safe.
you have the voice of LGR channel.
LGR is a great Channel. Thanks
This dude sounds nothing like Duke Nukem. Still a great channel though.
Found one of these at a local store for around $500 and you may have convinced me to pick it up :)
The prices for those are up there. I ended up getting the sony 20M2U and love it.
Got it from mmcom I believe is the name. they were local here in Chester nj and payed 800. They wanted 1500+ for that l5 too much for me. Anyways they must really take care of their monitors because when I opened mine up I looked brand new, so no cleaning needed.
Now , time to figure out where and how to get that 240p test.
Like always, love your content brother!!
Thanks! Great story and good job on the 20M2, that's a bargain nowadays
Awesome. Thanks for the tip. One day hopefully I can use it. Take care.
What a thing of beauty.
I picked up a 2030 last year that I still need to crack open. Manufactured in 1991, so I imagine it's a but gross in there, lol.
One of these days I'll get some pics / videos together to post in the discord to properly diagnose whatever is going on with the input board (can't get it to stop scrolling on RGB or S-Video. Composite works), but I'm wanting to snag a nice desoldering tool before I dive into that
that's awesome
That's hardly any dust compared to the caked on layers of grime I see in consumer sets that haven't been cleaned in 30 years lmao
I am a big newbie! How do I take the case off? And where do I buy the compressed air? What other things did you use to clean it with? Where do I buy those things? Amazon? Feel free to give me links to the exact items and I'll order them! Let me know what mistakes I should try to avoid making when cleaning it. Thanks in advance!
Ken Griffey, Jr. The Reds fan in me just shed a small tear.
He was always one of my favorites growing up. It's a shame he had so many injury problems later on with the reds.
Not getting an image at all after a tube swap. Static is there on the screen, but no source info comes up and screen is blank. I noticed a crack across C board after powering up, but repairs have been done and still nothing. Only really tested R705 so far and its 39ohms and I'm getting spark at the cap when I purposely try to arc it so theres definitely power there. Proper voltage across G2 as well. What should my next test be? Thanks
I think this video is awesome! I would absolutely love to buy a 9-20” multiformat pvm/bvm from you!!!! Maybe a bvm D9H5U or 14L5 or something similar!!! I just want a good desktop pvm/bvm would consider a 20” but I doubt I could afford that atm 😅
I wonder how many endangered CRTs exist out there that are being choked by an owner too lazy to clean them out every few years.
I can’t wait to buy that TV!
do you recommend any specific aftermarket add-in boards for this monitor? such as a VGA in card? thank you
How much would one of these be worth purchasing for? 13"
Hi,
I have a nice Sony PVM 8045q but on right top corner the color is a bit dim (slight purity issue). The degauss does not clear it. What do you recommend I do? The screen and condition are top notch, not a tired overused monitor. In that top right corner there is a factory calibration magnet on the back of the crt, has there ever been the need to remove or re-orient a factory installed calibration magnet on a pvm? (for example due to different geo-location etc)
Thank you! Fantastic videos!
Hi I just Got one of this monitor.
I notice the start engine takes a couple of seconds to start after the power on.
It looks Fantastic with 240p but i Notice is like a blurry with 480p.
Is there a way to improve the focus on that resolution?
How does it compare to the 14L3?
I have this pvm and when i connect my ntsc ps2 the image quality is so bad. I used composite cable (red, yellow and white) . And component cable (red, blue, green) . On the screen says 480 60i
Steve you mentioned you don’t need to discharge the anode to clean this model. Do the L5’ models self discharge? I have 2 14L5’s in storage that I want to clean at some point but I’m a little worried about opening them up and making sure I don’t touch the wrong thing.
i really love to watch visual type music videos & sometimes even shows, i want a different kinda display, something with more character & uniqueness, could this be just for me ? ?
i want like a good one :)
that’s also pretty sharp
Are there any downside such as input lag if using this monitor with games/consoles that are only 240p? is it lag free with games/consoles 480p +?
my commodore 1701 pal flyback just died ! any one knows if its fixable or where to get a new one ?
I got my 14L5 working again perfectly on 240p-480i but is only showing green when running 480p(even in component mode) on both PS2/GameCube official component cables... any ideas? thanks
Might be NTSC/PAL compatibility or SYNC issue.
@@hankhill7827 it previously worked but a minor service to the neck board was done and now it doesn’t work anymore.
@@saltymanos I'd inspect the rework first and make sure it was all 100% correct and then check to make sure everything is properly connected inside.
@@RetroTechUSA Savon_Pat repair this CRT but there was a suspicious looking blob of solder possibly by mistake and desoldered it and that’s when the green came in. So I resoldered it like it was before and the green now persists.
What is this music? Tekken 1?
No, it's from the N64 WCW vs NWO soundtrack.
@@RetroTechUSA definitely has strong '90's 'fighting' game vibes. Thanks for the reply; I really enjoy your videos.
🤔Is there anybody that 3D prints parts for these or any PVM/BPM CRT
