This is a PVM.
BVM stands for Broadcast Video Monitor, and it's an excellent quality CRT.
PVM stands for Professional Video Monitor.

Both are for viewing TV signals, and they also happen to have RGB inputs, which is rare on American TV's. Since the SNES and a lot of other old consoles output RGB and it's the highest quality you can get out of them, plus the overall awesome quality of the PVM's and BVM's themselves, they are highly sought after by gamers.

I got mine free because I was a volunteer at the local PBS station, and after a few visits I heard they were upgrading to new equipment. So I asked the station engineer if they had any CRT's they were getting rid of, and he offered me a PVM-20L5.

Some people claim the BVM's are superior to the PVM's - I'm not sure, because I don't have a BVM, but my opinion based on the specifications I've read in Sony's manuals is that the PVM and BVM are the same quality but BVM's have more expansion cards for extra inputs and outputs, and also have some more advanced controls.

Yup. I have a Mitsubishi TV that looks similar, woodgrain with huge ass speakers on the sides. It was my grandma's TV actually.

I use it for all my retro games. Although it's from 1988 it somehow has an S-Video port so I use that. Sure, the picture on a Trinitron or BVM with RGB is miles better, but I imagine it's a much comfier experience to play on my TV.

No seriously - if you're looking for exceptional good CRT why not take the BEST? Get a Sony BVM/PVM, get some RGB cables for your SNES and Genesis and get scart-BNC-cables. Put it on your desk with pride and fire it up - you seriously won't regret it. The scanlines, the vibrant colors, the glowing if you turn up the contrast ... you WILL love it.

Most people here, unless they're just casually emulating on their computer, are playing on CRTs. Some on old ones that have been around since they were kids, some on apeture grill Trinitrons, some on high end broadcast monitors, but almost universally on Tube TVs, since that's how these games were intended to be displayed.

Me and my console love playing our retro video games on our new BVM, we couldn't believe the difference in latency compared to our previous LCD screen. We also like how horizontal pixels are being interpolated without any digital filter and the fact that you can adjust the internal ratio (which is the one developers intended their games to be played on) as easily as turning a knob (included with the purchase) which felt really good on our finger tips. It literally saved our relationship and its bulky size helped fill an empty space in our house while giving that "vintage" feeling. Unfortunately we just can't get any sound from it, it is probably a faulty unit. Luckily, we still have our warranty.

>> No.2569826

>>2569789
It's a little strange that you actually notice the latency. I never have on flatscreens. I think it's what people claim when they want to blame something for them not hitting a button fast enough in a fighting game, but human reaction time is far slower than a couple milliseconds. The lag is only significant for duck hunt and other light gun games.

Also strange that you would talk about the TV like you would talk about a husband or wife.

I am hoping this was meant satirically :p

wait, warranty? ah, so you're kidding/trolling. good. It looks like some parody amazon review.

> decided to pull the trigger and purchase this cable because my Samsung 85 inch 4k HD 3D TV ($40,000 if you are curious, fantastic TV, only had to re-finance my house 4 times and sell a kidne. I only need one so why not right?) just wasn't getting the best with its supplied cable.
>When the product arrived, which it did so in a timely manner (2 days 4 hours 26 minutes 41 seconds) I was surprised at how superb the packaging was. When I released it from its restraints I gently plugged the cable into the required ports.
>This is where I was amazed. The picture looked better than it had before which was already fantastic. Now I could literally touch the characters and feel their pain and happiness in movies (this became a problem in several war movies as my wife took 3 rounds to the chest and in the arm, don't worry she is in ICU being patched up). The audio sounded like that of a cascading waterfall while an ocestral symphany played Beethoven's 7th. I shed tears just thinking about it.
>Now the reason I am giving it an average 3 stars is because of one major issue that may be ,to others, a deal breaker. After 2 weeks of enjoyment the Samsung TV I mentioned earlier and my blue ray player both absorbed the power of this cable to the extent they transformed into fighting robots and have destroyed my beloved house.

Or do what I did, and don't buy stupidly expensive SCART cables plus stupidly expensive adapters for them.

get some old ypbpr RCA cable, and add some RCA jacks to your SNES, with 220uf capacitors inside your SNES between the RGB pins of the multi-av port and the RCA jacks to bring the video level down so it's not too bright. Derive your sync signal from the composite output you can get out of the multi-out port, or add a fourth RCA jack for sync. I added a fourth jack just in case I ever wanted pure sync. Then all you need is four EXTREMELY cheap RCA to BNC adapters. $1.03 apiece - get 5 or 6 so you have more for composite inputs:

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10430&cs_id=1043002&p_id=4121&seq=1&format=2

Way cheaper than buying and importing NTSC RGB SCART cables from the UK when you don't even have a SCART TV.

With the exception of light gun games, I play all of my games on a 1080p Panasonic Viera Plasma. It's much better looking than an old CRT. My family owned many great CRTs like Sony Trinitrons and Magnavoxes, so I know from decades of experience that my plasma looks much better.

I never ever understood why all emulators had a "scanlines" filter on them, probably because all the TVs I've ever used had shadow masks.

As for your post content, I don't agree with the idea of destroying classic systems (a finite and constantly disappearing resource) for the sake of a new product. They should take better steps toward recreating the original hardware instead of preying upon a limited resource like classic hardware. Personally, I worry about what they do with the old console shell, controllers, and other components after they remove the boards. I hope that they do something responsible with them.

i was using a literary device which you ignored. I'll rephrase that for the cretins.

When you make a new console and in the process steal parts from another working console, you are not 'modding' the original console. You are removing from it.

When you add composite or RGB to your famicom, you are ADDing to it, and after you are done the original still works,and in fact works better than before.

It was me, and it's quite obvious composite blurs the signal because. And I also said composite makes blank scan lines harder to notice (on my smaller TV) maybe because of the TV itself which has a very strange deal with RGB/composite contrast so it gives a bigger glow, lighting up the black spots.

>>2570689

If the famicom was fried none of the parts would work. Most of the old famicoms they used had working parts but were physically worn - ugly controller decals and the like. so instead of making new decals for the controllers they decided "why not trash them?"

I heard this from Kevin Horton (kevtris) who made the HDMI NES mod that these shits use, a few weeks ago on nesdev.

including your new expensive shell and the CPU and PPU you pay these graverobbers to disturb. I say graverobbers because they were sitting and doing nothing at the time - however I have bought quite a few famicoms in such shape and know that others do too.
