Anon with the hot BVM here
i rigged something up

heh.

>>3136472
I found them for ~$600. Aside from cost it will work though? pop a gonbes board in the fabbed enclosure and have line doubling built in for 240p?

>>3136475
I just had one of those spit out smoke because it was plugged into my motherboard yesterday, and it did not like when that thing POSTs.

>>3136479
i just watched a guy on youtube playing the mortal combat pcb on it. If it'll play that any 240p rgb signal will work on it. You won't be able to connect non-rgb signals to it though (composite/s-video)

>>3136479
It's 15Khz so it should natively do 240p

Yes but it would be neat to have the option of running games in 240 or 480p

Time to get some shipping quotes and see how feasible this is.

>>3136497
most likely will have to be shipped via freight

fedex only does up to 75lb iirc

probably make a flocked mdf box like a pa or car sub enclosure with some handles and a door/cover for the front. a t molded, vinyl covered arcade cab looking case with a marquee would be super rad though.

I am just going to use it as a video game console monitor and a tv for movies.

so I meticulously adjusted the service menu options on my pvm for use with my snes, but then noticed my genesis picture was way off to the right, same with my pc engine and playstation. so i'm stuck with some in-between mode where each system looks good but not perfect. anyone else suffer from this problem?

>>3136538

>>3136542
I don't suffer as I have BVMs and set up geometry-optimised channels for each individual system.

>>3136506
Oh no I didn't leave the magnet on when I hit degausse. I just waved it around the back of the tube, saw what I thought was the best I'd get and then removed it.

Afterwards I thought what the hell I'll hit degausse and then fuck

Great guess, but why exactly? Are the scanlines too thick? I zoomed my CRT out a bit since that picture.

>>3136614
Are you using a pc CRT? 240p@120Hz?

>>3136626
Yep, exactly. My guess is that 22'' is just TOO big and the scanlines are just too far apart for this size of monitor. It still looks much better than 480p with a scanline filter though.

>>3136614
very little blooming and pixel are perfectly defined, the transition from one to another is extremely sharp

>>3136629
It's not a problem with your emulator etc. (well line thickness-wise. The sharpness of a PC CRT is unavoidable. Unless like I guess a shader/filter could reduce it but good luck with that heh.

>>3136637
Mine may be a particularily bad case with 0.24mm dot pitch.

note that 120hz has the benefit of getting correct brightness, since you do true line double strike.

I might be living on the road for a while and my 14" is too big to take with me if I end up doing so. I'd be sitting right up close to it, so I don't think size'd be too much of an issue.

>>3136758
not without some sort of converter or something, not sure how he is powering it desu. My suv has a 120v plug but at 10A or something so not sure if it would even be enough for a pvm, a laptop or something maybe.

>>3136656
I've got one, and yeah it's small but if you're going to be living on the road for a while then it's a good size.
I'd get one that has the 'HR Trinitron' moniker if you can as those have a higher line count.

>>3136758

yknow i dont think yokes are made to put up with constant vibrations too well

>>3136858
Yeah I know, I want to get a 8" eventualy.

Currently have a pvm-2030 which is working fine. Now the person who I bought it from has a 20m2 up for sale. Is there any significant difference in quality between the two to justify a 5 hour round trip though LA to get it?

>>3137008
not in my opinion

looks like the pvm has 40 more TVL
you probably wouldnt notice a difference

besides 2030 has aesthetic

>>3136614
Way too sharp.

>>3137097
There's a bigger difference than that, and it is noticeable, but it's nothing massive.

You would get the benefit of having a service menu, a newer tube, and support for YPbPr; whether that's worth a 5 hour drive and how ever much it costs is a decision you have to make for yourself.

I just found an Advent Q1435A on CL. Manufactured January 2003. I haven't owned a CRT in years and the picture looks great on it, but the whine is killing me.

I read some places that an aging or a misaligned flyback transformer could cause the 15.625 kHz noise to be amplified. Is there a safe way to look inside it or should I just try to deal with the noise?

>>3136629
17 inch monitors or older monitors with larger dot pitch probably have less gaps.

>>3136614
It needs some slight horizontal blur to simulate a slower RAMDAC. Your PC's video card outputs much sharper images than most real hardware could do

>>3135836
>hit degauss, now impurity is back.

That's why you need to actually fix it at the source by aligning the yoke. Alternatively, put it on a swiveling pedestal and turn it on - mark a point on the pedestal as your starting point and rotate the monitor until the impurity goes away. Use a protractor to find how far you had to rotate it. From now on, every time you turn it on, have it rotated off-center by that amount, wait for the degauss to finish, and then rotate it back to center.

That's a shitty fix but I used it until I grew a pair and decided to fix the problem properly on my Apple monitor.

>>3137159
This is kind of related to the other anon's issue

>>3136614
Too crisp, too shitty, too bright.

Stop trying to make LCDs do something they won't. Maybe if you had a 20" PC monitor with the DPI of a nexus 6 you could do it.

Also,for my personal taste those lines are too thin and the black areas between too fat.

Also, no convergence issues is a giveaway.

>>3137826
Whoops, apparently it is a PC CRT.

Should read the thread next time.

>>3137815
It's in Orange CT. About 15-20 minutes from where I live. I might go out and see if it's still there tomorrow. Like I said, they had a lot of Sony Trinitrons with YUV inputs and I don't think the smallest of them would be the first to go, but you never know. I already have a 20" one that I like quite a bit, and I was eying the small one because it seems like it'd be a nice thing to pull out of the closet and be able to move around the house easily.

One of the Trinitrons they have there is a Wega which I'm not terribly interested in, since everyone says that the "flat screen" CRTs are much more likely to have major geometry problems.

>>3137753
I wouldn't be playing Smash Bros on it. I already have a few TVs and I was thinking it would be a decent option to hook up one of the old Gen 3 systems to, since a lot of those games are single player.

I'm not pretentious enough to think Smash needs to be played on a CRT. I own the GC component cables and it looks much better on an LCD, not to mention it's a much better setup for multiplayer. I've yet to have a single person over who complained that we were playing Smash on my big TV instead of one of my CRTs.

The two monitors of mine with purity issues are:
14M2MDU
XC-3730c

The 14M2MDU got it from the ride home after picking it up from another anon in these threads; A turn taken slightly too sharp right after leaving their house is what I believe did it. Despite having it for a while, I have not gotten around to working on it.

The XC-3730c I BELIEVE came from it just being a massive bastard and the way it had to be moved. All I had to move the 220lb fucker was a small dolly probably rated for half of that(it absolutely destroyed the thing, I might add) and then getting it up to the attic.

This one I have attempted to degauss (in a rather dirty manner) which only moved the discoloration. This is the one I'm more interesting in fixing.

I've actually gotten around this problem with both monitors by placing a small boombox speaker near the discoloration and it has worked rather well for both. I do this after the power on degauss, and move them if I wish to degauss again after.

This.
Not even slightly the same. Try feeding YPbPr into a sync-on-green PC monitor sometime if you feel otherwise (where you connect Y to 'G', Pb to 'B', and Pr to 'R').

Lighten up guys. YPbPr cables are color-coded red green and blue, it's a common misconception that they carry RGB signals. Only hardcore enthusiasts know that its sync + luma and the difference of blue and sync and red and sync (goddammit I'm not even sure that's right.)

And technically RGB signals are always sent over component cables, since any video split into two or more components is considered component video. While RGB and s-video are technically component video, in common parlance "component" became a catch-all for YPbPr signals only

You are getting pedantic.
Component in these threads = YPbPr. No one ever uses it otherwise. So why even mention it when you only conclude with 'In common parlance "component" became a catch-all for YPbPr signals only'?

Best is to not think you're safe because you're wearing a glove. And my other hand was not in my pocket, but it was not touching metal and I removed basically anything metal it could touch. I used it to hold me steady since I worked on the PVM on the floor.

>>3137204
I'd recommend against actually cracking open the flyback because it'll be nearly imposible to fix if you fuck up the windings further. The wire is REALLY thin.

You should deal with it or put the TV/monitor in a cabinet or something to muffle the noise.

It sounds like you never grew up with CRTs or something. Didn't we all just get used to it?

Some of my TV's/monitors are louder than others, and as a general rule the older they got the louder they were. But that could just be because of improvements since 1987 and not aging.

Hey, I might be able to figure it out, IDK, but I only said anything because I liked your glasses.

I do notice you aren't using 6500k which bugs me a bit.

If you decide to tell me, then do so. But it's not worth my time :\

For what it's worth, I think the 'A' suffix on that BVM model number means Australia, though. I know 'E' is Europe and 'U' is USA (maybe canada too).

So somewhere on that continent. Yeah. All I can figure out from a few seconds of thought.

Since no one lives in most of australia (kind of like indiana but warmer), I assume sydney by default.

Looks nice to me. What was it like before?

>>3138341
You assume I'm not using D65 but the way that monitor works means I went from the default 6500k profile and tweaked it to end up with the values you see there.

Did I ever tell you about the time I hooked up TTL and fixed my G2 with WinDAS? Oh and I'm not in Sydney, or Australia for that matter. I am a native English speaker though, if that helps narrow it down.

>>3138349
It had a huge bow and the bottom left corner was droopy, also had linearity issues? It would have a rubber band effect during horizontal scrolling. It's a Samsung slim crt. I have no idea what I'm doing. Just writing stuff down and fiddling with the built in test patterns. I can't find a service manual.

Only the 1701 (on 2 RCAs labeled LUMA and CHROMA), the 1084 and 1084s, by far the most common monitors round these parts support RGB via proprietary connector. There's also other 15KHz computer monitors with SCART but they're a smidge rarer. Mostly stuff that was sold with MSX systems.

>>3139207
Eh, through a converter? Maybe. IDK. To me using SCART in the US was stupidly expensive so I got RGB by my own means.

>>3139209
...or a wii.

There's a reason I recommended a wii.

>>3139216
>>3139223
I mean, if you can avoid SCART you may as well, the Peritél connector can be annoying and depending on the shielding and the quality of the cable it can cause issues, I have one where the big ol' metal ground fell off, and my Playstation lead has a recessed pin I had to fix.
To me though there's absolutely no reason not to use it, literally the only reason I have an S-Video cable instead of a SCART one for my Wii is because it was a Japanese import from when the dollar was just utter trash.

>>3139223
wii cant emu psx, saturn, dreamcast, or mame very well.

>>3139234
Well IMHO none of those are worth emulating when hardware is so cheap. But whatever.

Are retroarch's cores too slow?

>>3139239
oh, forgot MAME. I never had trouble with MAME on the wii myself - only played Donkey Kong, though.

>>3139239
yeah but if you already bought a crt for the purpose of emulating

its kind of a waste of money to buy 3 consoles (and you have to burn discs for them) instead of just getting an hd-xxxx series to begin with

and you dont have to use proprietary controllers. for the wii you have to choose battery powered wiimote (classic controller) or a gamecube controller with the borderline unusable d-pad

better to buy an old graphics card and have no regrets imo

>>3139229
Composite video as sync is a reason not to use it, if you want a stable picture.

>>3139259
I can use USB keyboards. I have a cheap & shitty little SNES -> uSB keyboard arduino thing hooked up so I can use a SNES gamepad on it. By 'shitty' I refer to the paperclips I used to plug into the SNES controller.

Anyway, there are also adapters (online and homemade with microcontrollers) for the gamecube ports . If you want to buy pre-made, retrousb.com has them, I think.

Just performed a factory reset on my pvm after I basically ruined the image beyond repair in the service menu. Time to try again.

>>3139260
>if you want a stable picture.
Have you tried ferrite beads around your cables? That fixed it for me.

>>3139318
You dun goofed son.

Why didn't you write everything down before adjusting? Factory reset won't bring them back. You just undid all adjustments that were made at the factory.

>>3139508
>Why didn't you write everything down before adjusting?
I did, but the settings they were at when I got the monitor were beyond acceptable. So the values I wrote down are shit. The reset made everything better, but not perfect. I'm going to take some photos to better explain the problem.

>>3139508
erm .. so why is it called "factory settings" then?

>>3138391
I live in SCART-land, SCART was always the most convenient. Already had a bunch of SCART cables when I got my first PVM, so getting a converter was the most logical thing.

>>3139260
You can make RGB SCART cables with CSYNC or Luma for sync, they just won't work properly in non-RGB SCART sockets (as those would be expecting composite video).

I have one such cable for my SFC, although the CSYNC on the SFC is so dirty I can actually see some outlines when watching the CSYNC as if it were composite. I should probable invest in a sync cleaner.

>>3139816
it's the base setting when the eeprom was flashed, they were then adjusted by a tech before getting sent out.

Err.....

For one, MAME on the wii is slow as shit, and buggy as hell. For two, it's impossible to find the 0.139 roms or whatever, and rolling back that far is too, effectively.

Retroarch is also shit though, wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, but at least it's available.

Just got my 8" Sony Trinitron KV-8AD10 in the mail. Feels pretty good.

This is a rugged 'prosumer' field monitor, takes 12v power etc. I got it used and it came with a nice padded carrying case clearly made for the unit, with pockets for the original pamphlets and antenna and power cables and stuff. Also included is the rare original remote!

I believe this set has one of the smallest and last high-quality broadcast / field type Trinitron sets. I plan to use it for all kinds of things.

>>3139954
But then that's not standard SCART - and I don't think anyone makes the cables that way anyway. If you are willing to use a soldering iron and rewire things, why not skip SCART altogether when it's not what your monitor uses? That's my logic.

>>3139954
Are you talking about watching csync-based RGB? The SNES and SFC that I have have very clean csync - I suspect you have a shitty cable or shitty soldering.

>>3140135
>not compiling a newer version of MAME

>>3140218
Inputs?
If it's not RGB, and then not pre-1985, then don't call it a 'broadcast/field type' set.

And they were making the PVMs in 8 inch versions in 2004 still. Maybe later even.

why do i have to do from dreamcast to scart and then scart to bnc?
whats keeping me from modding the dreamcast to scart with a a 4 bnc cable i already have?

or modding the dreamcast with 4 bnc?

>>3140218
Also, not to burst your bubble, but I think I recognize that set as identical to one my grandmother had in her kitchen. If it has a wireless remote, and if that's an antenna on the top, then it's not a prosumer set. IIRC my grandmother's set also had a bunch of buttons on the top in front of the antenna for changing channels and stuff. It's a kitchen countertop TV. And [citation needed] on the remote being 'rare'. It's hard to imagine there's demand for these CRTs in the first place, let alone the remotes for them. They're pretty damn tiny.

Show us how it looks in use though, maybe I'll be wrong.

>>3140218
Oh, also, not the smallest. They made 5-inch PVMs.

Basically, it sounds to me like you got a small consumer TV, honestly.

>>3140261
Nothing, that's what I do but with RCAs and RCA -> BNC adapters.

>>3140269
>>3140261
Problem is my BVM only supports rgb/component and composite inputs.
I have an S-video cable but i dont want to buy both scart cables for my Dreamcast (dc>sc(m) (f)sc>bvm)

Also dreamcast doesnt support component out. (and only supports 31Khz over vga)

Just wondering what the cheapest way I could get this hooked up without resorting to composite.

>>3140261
>why do i have to do from dreamcast to scart and then scart to bnc?
Because you fell for the SCART meme.
Cable makers figured they'd make people pay double by making both a console->SCART and SCART->BNC cables and make people buy both instead of simply making console->BNC cables.

>>3140281
Could I cut the connector off my s-video cable and mod it with my 4 BNC to 4 BNC cable?

>>3140291
If the connector has all the pins and it is easy to open you can do it.
I have done it with SNES, Genesis, Playstation, and Xbox.

I didn't say it was an ENG set, more that it was a 'prosumer' set. It's ruggedized and has a nice handle, and takes 12v power (obvious field use feature) but it's not one of the heavy-duty broadcast ones built into a shell with a visor etc.

Has normal composite input, RF as well, and takes the funky proprietary Sony AC power cords as well as DC.

Not the fanciest set but I wanted something that would work nicely with my Apple ][c+ as well as be useful in the ham radio shack which is all 12v.

No it's clearly built to exacting standards, they secretly provided S-video taps on the main board if you look at the service manual.

Amazing stuff, this might be the sleeper CRT of the mid-80s. It even has the ultra-rare Black Trinitron technology.

This wasn't uncommon for Sony, they had a lot of these sleeper products that used hand-me-down cutting edge tech.

Here's another Sony CRT that I own, even smaller. It takes a discerning person to appreciate such technology.

Wii isn't using MAME for arcade emulation, and I don't believe there's actually a port of it otherwise.
RA uses FBA for its arcade emulation, and I doubt that there's a way you could actually compile a more recent version outside of what they're already offering, since you need it to be a libretro core.

If you haven't updated in a while, a new version of RetroarchWii did come out last month, but I'm not sure what all the changes to the already existing cores were.

>>3140618
not sure about cores but it saves resolution for me now, thanks Kya!

>>3140256
>nobody makes cables that way
But they do, at least with the aftermarket cables that are coming out these days. It's not uncommon to find CSYNC SCART cables and Luma Sync SCART cables, heck just go check and eBay (and don't come back and whine at me like the prices are my fault).

>shitty cable
probably that, it's not even shielded properly, but then the SFC/SNES's RGB output isn't all that great to begin with either (I don't have a memechip SNES).

Also I made a shitty mod to it to add a switch to switch between CSYNC and composite video, it might be doing something, I dunno. But I remember seeing this before doing that mod to the cable anyway.

>Why use SCART when your monitor doesn't
Because I used to have a SCART CRT (that I unfortunately had to get rid of). Also a SCART switcher.
Plus having just one connector instead of 5 is just that much more convenient, even if it's on the bulky side (at least that makes soldering to it really easy).

>>3140281
But you only need one SCART - BNC cable. All consoles should be hooked to scart switch. And switch output connected to monitor with SCART - BNC

>>3140736
The solution for the meme cable is not a meme switch.

>>3140736
What if you only had one console?
Then you'd be paying double for inferior cable. I have done this before where I actually showed that you could get something like 20 times as much cable, with better shielding, for the same price if you ditched the SCART paradigm altogether.

>>3140739
How is it meme? Yes, maybe it was never used in your region. Doesn't make it a meme though.

Curious what your alternative to SCART looks like. Can you tell us?

Attached: my setup. Since my only RGB consoles are currently a Genesis and a SNES, this works fine. If I were to add two more consoles I'd have to start using the S-Video inputs on the sima switch for RGB. But the only other console with RGB that I might want to hook up is my PSX, so I can deal with this fine.

>>3140742
>not buying cable when the electronics shop is selling off surplus
I got some shielded 5-lead cable, going to try making SCART out of it. I'll probably have to pull sound separately though unless I want mono, but maybe that'll give me less buzz anyway.

>>3140687
>and don't come back and whine at me like the prices are my fault

They aren't your fault, but you defending a bad cable that your monitor doesn't even use if you live in the US is your fault.

>>3140750
Some people use HD15 or DB9 for their own custom connector, a path I've thought about going due to the bulkiness of SCART connectors and expense of good SCART switchers (mine only does 3, it's way too little, but better than nothing).

I'm wondering if you could use for instance a PC KVM you found cheap if you went for HD15.

>>3140750
I use a mechanical switch for three video signals and two audio signals.
The connectors I soldered myself from generic console connectors that include all the pins, even those for unused signals.

>>3140748
Enough people believe only SCART carries RGB signals.

If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay before shipping? I assume it was the one on ebay i had be watching to see if someone would actually buy it. the price was wayyyy to steep for me.

>>3140771
It's not particularly good cable, in fact most SCART patch cables (although not for consoles because, lol cheap) on the market use better cable, with individually shielded leads.

Also I have some SCART connectors over, I might as well test it.

>>3140772
Hey, if you're in europe I'm cool with SCART, especially if you fix the shitty sync design. But what I have trouble with is people using them in the US for no reason other than, as that other anon so nicely put it, the meme factor, coupled with a willingness to throw all your money down a well.

>>3140784
I think we have this discussion about every 5th thread by now.

>>3140783
The SCART connector is a bigger problem. Multiports are not great from an impedance matching or crosstalk perspective. RCA jacks are certainly not great either, but they are closer to a match than a SCART pin.

>>3140748
poor shielding/grounding, crosstalk, audio hum, impedance mismatching, +5v running parallel to audio and video signal wires, bulky etc. direct to bnc is the new shit, scart is obsolete

I think you need to downgrade to composite for that to work. Most receiver boxes won't convert RGB or YPbPr to composite internally for you.

I've used composite direct to a VCR while running YPbPr to a TV before.

Alternately, I'd invest in a cheap-ish capture card. Mine works well enough for 240p but you have to run the output through a chain of ffmpeg filters to corect it's perceiving 240p frames as 480i fields.

Pic is an old test I did before I found the right resistor value for my Gensis S-video mod (which I finished tonight, btw). The jailbars are greatly reduced now compared to here.

>>3140947
>the picture is black and white :(
That's because it's taking the Y input as a stand-in for composite on that line, and sending it to the monitor out. S-Video will give the same results since it's using the same Y signal for sync.

If you're using composite sync from your RGB cable, you could run the unused composite video directly to your recording device and skip the TV's video out all together. Might need some custom cabling or invent use of breakout adapters, but it'd be doable.

>>3140947
My device was overpriced (roxio branded), but I can say that any USB capture device with a EM2681 chipset works well for composite and s-video.

I _think_ the Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 90 / DVC 100 / DVC 101 should all work well.

They have linux drivers, and windows ones - some are out of date but I've tested these up to windows 8.1:

If you can find a non-knockof Ezcap DC60+ (note the 'plus' sign, and there are a LOT of knockoffs, some of which are incompatible), those will also have the right chipset. There are others that work, too, but this is what I have experience with.

None of those should cost more than around $35, I think.

Audio is coming through a test lead - I've used small nails before too.

Your conceit is enormous and you fail to see what we are all telling you: That set isn't some magical perfect monitor gift from god. It's a portable CRT - in fact, I bet a reason it had the padded bag was for stuffing between the front seats of a car for kids in the back. That'd explain 12V, too. And the s-video can be explained by manufacturing a generic board for multiple monitors. S-video is indeed good, but it depends entirely on a good encoder for the decoder to be able to reach near-,RGB levels. I know of no consoles with encoders THAT good, though my SNES is kind of close. Anyway, I'm glad you like it but it's not actually anything super special.

Note that the argument I used in ffmpeg to separate the inferred 480i fields into the real 240p frames was:

-vf "setfield=tff,separatefields,scale=720x480:flags=neighbor,setdar=3/2"

That turns fields into frames and maintains the correct aspect ratio by nearest-neighbor scaling vertically.

Hey bros, fellow CRT enthusiast here. I am a complete noob and know very little other than "does this thing have S-Video?", but I really enjoy browsing your finds and being extremely jealous of your setups. I hope someday that I'll find myself in a situation where I can have a room with a nice TV and all my classic consoles so I can relive the best days of my life.

Cheers.

>>3140356
Kinda? It's a nice place to start, and will always make a nice test-monitor if you choose to go bigger later on.

I actually had a 9045Q on my desk permanently, until i replaced it with an Ikegami of the same size. I play PS3 on it, and watch broadcast TV.

That price is a little steep though. Depends how bad you want it, I guess. I'd say half that, absolute max. And that's only if it's in good condition. Test it with a game you know. Even composite is fine for testing a screen that size, if that's all you have. Or make them test it with some pluge bars and a grid in front of you.

>>3140991
I prefer the safety pins I used for my Saturn.

Speaking of which, I temporarily "upgraded" the quite noise and shitty SCART cable I had laying around: Took the 9pin from the shitty cable, an extra male SCART connector, a pair of RCA cables from a broken tape deck, and the 5 lead cable from a completely shit VGA to BNC cable and frankenstein'd it all together. Sadly, the wire that should have been connected to the c sync line was tied to ground instead, and there was no way I was getting that mold plastic off of the connector without ruining everything.

Looks like complete and utter shit, and I have no heat shrink to insulate everything properly at the moment, but I can crank the volume on my receiver all the way up on a white screen now with essentially no noise. Video still looks as nice as it did before hand.

Debating whether or not to encase it in hot glue until I can get some better connectors and redo it.

I went to take some photos of Saturn stuff, and ended up taking video instead... again. Expect a link or two soon-ish?

>>3141149
DB9? "HD15" VGA?
I personally came up with a pinout I'd -like- to use across consoles, should I decide to go that route. Audio would be run separately.

>>3141153
I think the monitors may have been capable of 15khz resolutions, but I could be wrong on that.

that is the 386 mega pc, there is the 486 mpc and the teradrive, they are probably all 15khz though

Hey guys, new to CRT gaming! As of right now, I have a Philips 29PT8303/12 model (pic related, the TV in my room) that we've had in the family for a good decade or so. Problem is, it's a 100Hz HDTV CRT, and i'm looking for a 60Hz SDTV so I can use my NES Zapper.

Now to my question: What's a good SDTV to get? And I live in Europe, so preferably one that outputs SCART
