@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaUpdate on the Sony PVM-2530: probably should use RGB before diagnosing color issues (e.g. luma). I did have to get in my custom CMPTR board to do it, but everything lined up perfectly. I do need to fix the geometry a bit, but for right now I think I'll be playing a few games after work.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaGot a present delivered in my driveway, and it's definitely TV shaped. A good indication of weight is the fact it's strapped down on a palette.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaThe Sony PVM-2530 is now in it's new home: a proper AV cart. Still need to calibrate everything, but it's one step closer to being used and enjoyed.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaFirst power on of the Sony PVM-2530: major convergence issues. Fortunately I have the service manual and this should be very correctable. Still need to get the speakers cleaned up and attached to the PVM.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaSo, figured I'd "fix" the mono output from the JVC TM-H150C CRT monitor by grabbing the Sony speakers off the PVM-2530 and attaching them to an amp. Works perfectly as the speakers are shielded and barely fit onto the second shelf. I officially have stereo sound for the smaller TV.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaWhy do I keep buying CRT TVs? I now own 3 of them, and the new one is a Sony PVM-2530. I haven't seen many around, and I figured that September is a good time to grab a waaaay-too-expensive TV.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaA quick schematic for a CMPTR breakout PCB. This really only handles RGB, but should get the job done for the CMPTR connector on the PVM-2530.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaGot the convergence mostly fixed after trying to fix it previously. Learned a heluva lot, but time to enjoy the fruits of my labor.
