How’s the geometry?

@@abdelll9737 Very good, I had to tweak it slightly as the image was shifted to the left too much. The TV gives such a nice bright and colourful image. Very happy with it.

@@daveishereuk Mine is pissing me off. No matter what I do I can’t get the whole image on it when I plug a console to it. And the image is all crooked. Oh well…

@@abdelll9737 I take it you've been into the service menu and made some alterations to the geometry?

What is that?

No the mx4000 doesn’t have this circuit and already has the softer image. This only applies to the later models mx8000 and possibly the mx4200.

I checked on my MX4200 (manufactured circa 2004) and there's indeed the same connector on the neckboard that goes to a coil right behind the convergence rings.

No. That’s not the same thing you are referring to there that’s something entirely different to SVM which the MX7000 doesn’t have.

Ah ok. Do to know how to disable that feature on the mx7000 to get a brighter image?

Unfortunatley not no. I dont recall the MX7000 having an ambient light sensor though but I could be wrong. I know some people remove the contrast screen to increase the brigtness but I think this somewhat detracts from the look of the set. This was another one of the reasons I upgraded to the 8000.

yeah the MX4000 and MX7000 are known for being a bit dim due to the contrast screen in front of them (which can be removed btw), plus they are old sets now its likely that some of the components might be wearing e.g. capacitor. They should still have a nice picture if its working correctly!

I dont think it makes any difference lag wise, its still a CRT so it would have to keep up with the image being projected from the electron guns being fired. I certainly didnt notice any either way.

@@RetroFlex1981 i don't feel any input lag as well but since it's called " digital processing

@@user-le3eb9jj6s yeah i wouldnt get too hung up on me calling it "digital" its all getting far too technical, however I am sure there is a digital circuit somewhere that sharpens the image on the fly but it still has to keep up with the image that is being refreshed and drawn on screen so like i say there shouldnt be any lag. Obviously I am just making some educated guesses / assumptions here so I wouldnt put too much trust in what I am saying you would have to test it yourself to be sure :D

@@RetroFlex1981I think you are right . I just wondered and hoped U maybe knew for certain if it does . Great CRT regardless tho very happy with mine

yeah I was aware of the pin 8 voltage thing, some consoles like the SNES always provide it not sure why they did this!

I have heard that it does indeed, apparantly they share very similar internals.

Hi! As always you will need someone who knows a bit about troubleshooting electronics etc, and I know that is increasingly hard to find these days but I suspect from what you describe it would be capacitor related as is quite commonly the case with aging electronics.

Thats good to know. I heard John Linneman @dark1x on the Digital Foundary podcast talking about this set recently and he mentioned the same hack works with regarding to disabling SVM (see my other video). Are there any other major differences with the set vs the MX8000?

@RetroFlex1981 The Beovision 1 doesn't have any major differences, it's essentially the same unit in a different housing and no contrast screen, I have a Beovisons 1, an MX7000 and an MX8000 The 8000 is my personal favourite, mines either a 28" or 32" model, play pretty much all of my SD/4:3 content through it

Better RGB mode colours as they were a bit washed out and couldn’t be adjusted on the 7000 and the 8000 also has a much better menu system and a few others things I’ve already mentioned in this video and the pinned comment. However the 7000 is still a great tv it looks identical to this one and has the same amazing active sound system, they are a lot more common (in the UK anyway) as took me a long time to hunt down an 8000.

Yep I can confirm it works with NES and PS1 light gun games! So assume it will work for that.

How did you fix the brightness issue?

He plays SMW rom with some audio enhancements (in video 9:00).

yeah was an MSU1 rom hack. They are available here www.zeldix.net/t1437-super-mario-world-msu . PAL version is exactly the same but runs at 50hz instead.

You carried a Mx8000 on the train? Mad man. Have you figured anything out about calibrating it?

:D Its a rom hack that replaces the audio with cd quality audio tracks known as MSU1 and can be applied to many games, although you need something like an SD2SNES rom cart to take advantage of it. www.zeldix.net/t1437-super-mario-world-msu

@@RetroFlex1981 i have a 800 in 1 snes cart. Is there a guide on how i setup the files?

@@swardmusic I don’t think an 800 in 1 rom cart will have the necessary hardware to emulate msu1 unfortunately

Visit a dealer. They gave me the master PIN.

The point of the video is to bring the sharpness down toward the MX7000 level. No such cable on the MX7000 sets :)

@@Horeteppe Thanks for the clarification !

@@Horeteppe the mx7000 has a light sensor. If you shoot it with a flashlight it will give more contrast than what is possible in the menu. Do you know if it is possible to make it always use that high contrast?

@@vinnievincent85 I'm sorry, I ever looked into that feature when I had the MX 7000 sets!

@@Horeteppe its fine. I am messaging b&o about a possible solution. Lets see if they can help

@@Horeteppe i love my MX7000. Just the wave effect when scrolling is disturbing. It appears the effect is lower on MX8000

@@Psykofab I have two MX7000's and one MX8000, and the barrel-roll effect is indeed nearly rectified on the 8000 set :)

@@Psykofab I have a mod on how to fix this for any TV that has barrel distortion as well as bad Left/Right linearity.

@@riggles seriously ? Could you tell me more ?

yeah looks decent.. most ps2 games are 480i though so can look a bit flickery especially at PAL 50HZ looks pretty good running at NTSC 60hz though!

The flickering might be if you feed it an interlaced signal like 480i some people are more sensitive to that than others. If you feed it a progressive scan signal like 240p in theory the flickering is reduced by half.

yeah I agree it sounds like you might have been watching an interlaced source like a ps2, one thing I find that does help with this is running games at the american NTSC 60hz (480i) output rather than the slower PAL 50hz output (576i) as I personally find the interlacted flickering much more noticable when its a PAL game.

@@RetroFlex1981 it was broadcast tv but still you’re right. It was 50hz because i live in Europe. All the crt’s here are 50hz.

@@RetroFlex1981I just got a MX4002 that’s 50hz - 60hz. I’m so happy but I need help calibrating the image. The color looks somewhat washed out and the sharpness is not like yours.

@@abdelll9737 an MX4002 is basically the same as the MX7000, the equivelent set to the MX8000 is actually the MX4200 so the colours are known to be a bit "washed out" in RGB mode on the older models as it doesnt allow you to adjust the colour setting, only when using composite input and not RGB. Something the later MX4200/8000 set allows you to do.

Excellent glad it helped !

Hi! Sorry for the late reply but yes i do have some docs for the MX7000 here 1drv.ms/f/s!AvXwQ7GFidfhlJRogU0zMRY94yFKWw

that's where they been made
