So I have a question about adjusting the screws on the back

It's a consumer TV. You'll have shit for adjustment.

I know it won't be as good as say a PVM or trinitron, but it's really all I have.

Well then it's pretty much hope for whatever. Find the service menu.

Messing with the pots on the back without a test pattern isn't going to end well.

>>2891470
I have the service menu written down. Some of the controls I'm not sure what they mean.

As for the test pattern, I use the 240p suite on my Wii via component to test it.

What is the problem with the TV you're trying to fix?

>>2891482
My CRT's pixels like to jitter a lot which is pretty annoying. Also, it has an over scan problem.

With these problems aside, it's still good to adjust the fly back knobs every 5 years or so, and this thing hasn't been used in years.

Throw it away and buy a SED.

Feels bad, man.

Ultra high resolution displays with appropriate shaders are the only thing that's still going to improve. It's possible some company will eventually put out CRT TVs as a nostalgia thing and find a niche with people like us, but I don't know if the niche would be big enough to justify that sort of production. Maybe just refurbished ones.

>>2891748
Um, there's still at least one Japanese company currently manufacturing CRTs, I forget their name. They're overpriced and not professional quality, though.

>>2891760
Actually, there seems to be several Chinese companies manufacturing them for sale in the 3rd world, too.

SOMEONE ANSWER MY QUESTION

Trash it and pick up a replacement at the Goodwill.

>>2891403
Yeah you don't have to turn it off/discharge just be very careful (ground wire your screw driver/wear rubber gloves/tie one hand behind your back) sit the tv in front of a mirror to make this easier.

>>2891831
Pardon me?

>>2891768
Are CRTs really cheaper to manufacture than lcd panels?

>>2893295
They are when you already own an old CRT manufacturing plant.

Playing Quake Live on a CRT is a great idea?
