I fiddle with the pots on the inside on the chassis.
I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there one that affects sharpness?
The Aperture adjustment affects composite, s-video and component (everything except RGB, basically).On PVMs it's typically called Aperture.
However it only affects composite and Svideo.
RGB sharpness can't be adjusted. At least not on any PVMs that I have seen.
They should have a focus pot inside somewhere though, right?
no you are right, I stand correctedHm , got a bvm 20f1e (e/u should be the same ) with 900 lines and the 20e1e/u should have 1000 lines but i could be wrong

So your PVMs and BVMs look better than the XRGB on a big screen HDTV?Finally sold my XRGB mini 2 days ago, thought I would be happy playing on a big screen HDTV with the xrgb mini setup but it just doesn't look nearly as good as games on my BVMs does. Having now owned consumer Trinitrons, PVM 2530, PVM 2950Q, PVM-20L5, BVM 20F1U, BVM 20E1U and the XRGB mini, I can safely say the sony BVM 20F1U and 20E1U blows everything out of the water. The picture just looks so much rich and vibrant on these 2 monitors. So much so that I was willing to sacrifice a much larger screen size. These 2 monitors are nearly identical, the 20E1U has 900 lines of resolution compared to the 20F1U's 800. Before I started looking into PVMs and BVMs I always thought there couldn't be that much of a difference between the Trinitrons and the PVMs and BVMs but I am now a believer.
Did you end up getting this one? I notice it's sold already.I generally don't know very much about this stuff, so some advice would be great.
Would anyone say that this PVM is "sponge worthy?"

Oh, and if anyone else has already posted something about this, then my apologies for the redundancy.
The guy that I got the 9" BVM from got back to me with info about another monitor he has for sale:
View attachment 18015
Its a BVM-D14HSE - any news / info on this model? Its looks a bit over the top with all those knobs and buttons but apparently its Multiformat so it would support the higher definition newer consoles.
Worth pursuing in your view? If so what would be a fair price?
I personally wouldn't be interested in that. Not for retrogaming, anyway. It's a 16:9 monitor, meaning that you'll be playing with black bars on the sides. Better than nothing, sure. But I'd much rather play on a 4:3 display. And that's only like a 14" display, right? So what would be the effective size of a 4:3 image? That monitor might be cool for HD gaming with newer consoles, except that it's only a 14" monitor...

Finally found a PVM for sale on the cheap...The only problem is that its 13-14" only. Is this too small? Should i just keep looking & not bother...
Sweet scoop on the NEC monitors.
got any better pics of the rear of them?
Here ya go man.
I had to rotate the yoke a little bit... I wish I would have taken pictures before I did to show before/after. It was tilted BAD, like a solid half inch of tilt. In the mars matrix pic you wouldn't have seen 1p's score, and 2p's score would have been about 1cm down from the bezel. Easy fix though, thankfully.
Not a very scan-liney monitor, probably because of the EGA support, but it's still a 27" RGB monitor with nice convergence
All of the knobs only affect composite video input; the pots that you need a screw driver for all affect RGB. Very easy to fix width/height and placement of the picture, which is nice.
Holy smokes, that thing has digital and analog RGB, BOSS!
2 sets of RGB inputs! Very nice.
I wonder if the 9 pin input has just composite sync or if it has separate Horizontal and Vertical sync?
