Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

[jojo2k]

I have three sets with Trinitron displays! In my my main setup, I have a PVM-8045Q (8" PVM with 450 TV lines) and a PVM-14M2U (14" PVM with 600 TV lines). My video signals are a mix of S-Video and Component, going through an Extron switcher. Here, you can see my kids playing N64 and SNES.

Here's the two PVM's up close. The 14" needs to be recapped, and to have some work done on the geometry.

I also have a PVM-14N5U, which has the same tube as the 14M2, but can only do 500 TV lines. I use it with my Apple II, or in this case, playing some Wii games.

I'll second what @Drake said
: P

Anyways, that console setup is actually a work of art. What's its power setup?

Anyways, that console setup is actually a work of art. What's its power setup?

It was a bunch of power strips. The whole thing is disassembled and in storage right now, as we are currently living abroad. My plan is to build a new set of cabinets for everything when we eventually? come back to the US.

* Better power management for everything, probably with those big workbench power strips and a dedicated space for power cables.
* 19" wide bays, so rack-mount gear like my switch can fit in the center of the setup.
* Glass doors for everything so I can keep the dust off the consoles.
* Better PVM integration, probably on the left-hand shelf.
* New 4K display (the one here was a 2009-era 1080p LCD).
* RetroTINK 4K or RetroTINK CE.

But, that's potentially years out at this point.
