Lol. Nice review. I hadn't heard of this model before. So with the cards being on the sides like that, does the size of the whole unit come closer to a 20 inch monitor?

The can't read award tonight goes to aaronmjr 
. Sorry dude I wont answer questions in that thread, it needs as little clutter as possible. I will answer them here though.
Sadly this thing is fairly large, it is much larger than a PVM. I would say its width is closer to a 20 inch PVM and it is deeper than one too. The monitor itself is also almost 60 pounds.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like you figured it out :P.

I remembered the second I hit the submit button.Interesting about the size.
Yeah they have to be bigger since the deflection, power, and inputs are all on cards. They cant just squish them all together like in a PVM when its like that.

The Salvation Army was good to me this weekend. I've been hearing stories about some Goodwills no longer accepting old tube televisions, but luckily mine only refuses the really old models with the built-in wooden cabinets. I managed to pick up 2 24" Sony Trinitrons for like $20. So far so good - no burn in or anything like that. Btw I'm in the US, so S-video and component is the best I'm gonna get. I haven't had any luck sourcing out any PVMs.

Thanks so much for the thread, Skips! I wouldn't have my beautiful JVC BM-H1310SU without seeing your review. Please keep posting here when you make updates.

Another awesome review! I'm really impressed with how it looks. I know you were very excited about the picture quality before the review and now I can see why. Nice to hear some info on the size too. I was thinking it looked larger considering the way it looks from the side and back.

Sadly, no one has been flinging boogers at it, or any other bodily fluids for that matter.

If anybody hasn't seen this, I got my hopes up yesterday when this was first listed. Quickly shot up over $200 today.

Sadly I am pretty sure this will hit around $400 (idiots on eBay paid just over $300 before shipping on a PVM-2530 not too long ago). The XM29 is nice but its not $300+ nice. Personally I would rather buy a nice 900 line 20 inch BVM (which stomps all over the XM29 video quality wise) than pay a huge premium for the extra size. It is a really nice monitor but it does tend to get over hyped just a little bit. I've also noticed 32 inch BVM's have been coming down in price a bit. Once you cross into the $350+ range I personally think its better to just save for one of those, the video quality stomps the shit out of the XM29 (unless you just gotta have that VGA port the XM29 has). A 32 inch BVM gives you around 25 inches viewable picture i think (cant remember) in 4:3 mode.

Yeah, for me I want a monitor for my livingroom that can do it all; 240p via RGB, 480p via component and VGA, have a remote control and be big enough so I can sit on a couch with a coffee table and not have to squint to read text. an XM29 or MegaView are the only options. My other option is XRGB-Mini. I'd rather stick to CRT.
Don't you also require a sync stripper for the XM-29? Thats why I like my PVM; it is a pretty straight forward monitor. I would also be overwhelmed by all of the options on some monitors, like the BVM that was recently reviewed.
Still, these are uncommon right and accept a wide variety of signals? Maybe $400 is not too unreasonable considering that.

Yeah, you need composite sync for them, they will not take cvid as sync like a lot of PVMs will.
People bidding that much without even a picture of it displaying something is a bit ludicrous. For all they know it's got mad convergence issues or geometry issues.
