Its a very solid set but I prefer my kv40xbr800. The issue with a widescreen crt is the only things worthwhile are the 360/ps3?pstv era things as everything before it would have been in 4:3.
I used to sell these. In 2006 the xbr960 line had the best picture you could buy as a consumer. Sony SXRD was the next best, and way larger since it was projection. Then LCD got better etc. but at the time it looks amazing for Halo 2. If you spring for it look for a sony dedicated stand, they were built to hold the massive weight.

Finally got my Sync Strike in to fire up the PVM. Extremely pleased with the 2950Q...if RGB on a PVM looks this good, I don't know what would happen to my eyes if I witnessed a BVM in action.

These were taken back in December, on the BVM-20F1U if I'm not mistaken.
And here's an alternate of the second pic above, running on a JVC CRT monitor.
Maybe it's the pic or just me but I like the look of the game on the JVC CRT more. Weird. The Foot soldier just seems to have more detail and better color I guess.

Thats a just you for sure the color looks washed out on the jvc by a far.

Picking up an NEC Multisync FE700+ VGA monitor on Wednesday to use with my Dreamcast. Anyone have any experience with this model? It looks decent, at least.

Here is a DIVX error shown by an LG DVD-R on a 12" CRT via composite:

Is that from a 1chip SNES?

By the time I got into DVD Divx was long gone. I do remember the Penny Arcade strips where they took the piss out of it tho. Before your post I'm not sure I ever saw one of the discs before. What a horrible idea for a product. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, it's pretty damn sharp.
I think the TMNT IV pic on the JVC doesn't represent it well. In person it is consumer CRT-like: brighter than the BVM 20F1U and making it look dim in fact (BVM has low hours and normal brightness settings). I think this simple pic gives a better indication:

Yeah, I can definitely tell just with the color difference, I use a 1chip as my primary SNES as well.

I finally got most of my living room set up together. I wanted something to play on while I get the more intricate game room put together. I'm so pumped to finally start using the NEC out there. Thanks again to Skate for the monitors I picked up a way back. I've used the shit out of the little PVM during my vacation this summer and now on to the NEC!

Thanks! I can't wait to get another scart cable so I don't have to switch out the cable between my SNES and NES. Also I need to snag a psx scart cable for my Undamned CPS2. I have it hooked up via composite and it looks like complete garbage. Surprisingly my VCR looks pretty damn good on there. I need some nice cheap black speakers too. Once I have that I should be set

Thanks
It's actually a CM series monitor. It's very similar in design (looks not features) to a NEC XM29 but older. I haven't found much info on it at all after searching for a fair bit.

I picked up some HD Retrovision Genesis 2 component cables today with the Neo, SMS/Genesis 1 and Saturn adapters. Here it is working with my PC Engine through a cheap RGB booster.
