Please tell me how you took such amazing shots of a CRT. Every attempt I have made gave poor results.Here are some very quick initial shots.

Well I still think you are trolling us ... as the nec xm29 is simply one of the best crt monitor ever made (if not the best). It is the wet dream for most us here ( I have personally been trying to find one for 2 years now) .. and you saying that you got one and don't know anything about it and asking if it is any good ...
Anyway I had no ill intentions... and my offer is still active. The moment you want to get rid of it I will be more than happy to dispose it for you

So I finally found a cheap pvm, a Sony 1351q. Bought it as a Christmas present to myself. The previous owner did a lot of professional video editing. he was the only owner and he bought it new in 94. Had that perplexed look when I told him I was using it for an arcade project lol. So far only thing I've tried it on was the ps3. Only console I had svideo cables for. Not looking forward to spend time and money on making cables. But so far I'm impressed.
I have tried a ton of different cameras. Everything from a cheap ass old digital camera to a Canon 7D and I can never get them to turn out. Probably doesn't help that I'm not much of a photographer. I finally tried using the camera on my Nexus 5 phone with the lights off and that has given me the best results by far. I'm sure there are some better options/methods, but this is what has worked best for me.

Clicktronic (might be EU only)... sorry I can't be of more help.Does anyone have any recommendations?
I always find i struggle to get anything decent with my Samsung S4. Always get the refresh flicker. I tend to get some great shots with my Canon DSLR though. The ability to adjust aperture and shutter speed help loads.
HOT!Put my 20M4U in my one slot cab. Scanlines are razor sharp, pics through the front glass of the cab.
I didn't have to de-case it, I just modified the shelf in the cab to hold any 20" PVM.

Spoiler:
That looks fantastic. I remember you had a PVM in that cab before. Was this a pretty big upgrade?
Holy shit dude, you got an awesome score. Whats the line count on the 2950Q?So to follow up on my post on the weekend.
Here are the monitors I rescued from recycling/e-waste.
First, my apologies. I really did get confused on the whole NEC model #. What I apparently have is the NEC Multisync 4PG. Doing some reading, turns out it's a smaller version of the XM29. This is 27" but the rest of the specs between the two (from what I found), look the same. It's also possible the XM29 has a few more inputs.
They've been in storage, indoors/normal room temp, but have some dust to them. I'll be cleaning them up over the next week or so.

I've only had a chance to hook up a Super Famicom via S-Video to all of these and they work. I have an original PS2 with RGB cables, so I'll give that a go tomorrow and take a close up pic. I could try my S-video modded AES too.
Thanks.

You should hook a brother up
