  • I often get asked about the best way to adjust convergence rings on a CRT monitor or Television. The first thing to do is buy one of these CRT Convergence lenses. This tool will help you see how far off your convergence is on your display and allows you to watch as you make adjustments to get your vintage tube looking as sharp as possible. This tool will work with any CRT from a Sony BVM or PVM to any shadow mask tube from Ikegami to JVC or any others.
    Please let me know what you think and look for more videos on this great tool.

    What I do is use a pair of weak binoculars and put the part you look into against the glass. When you look through the other side, you can see the phosphors very clearly. Almost as good as this tool, and I didn’t have to spend anything more.

    For a second there I thought this was going to be about one of those PVM "probes" that people use to auto adjust things. Never knew they made lenses like this.

    • @RetroTechUSA
      @RetroTechUSA  4 года назад +1

      Yeah, this one doesn't do any adjustments automatically but it's still vary helpful. I've always had trouble gauging Convergence adjustments. I wish I'd found out about this years ago, but it was literally about 10 days ago.

      @@RetroTechUSA How do you look at the lense when you have to look at the back of the CRT for the pots? You probably just said it in the video or just wing it & hope you don't touch something live while doing both at the same time, but this scares me just thinking about it.

    It's a neat tool but how much of a difference do you really gain? I could see how this would be useful in a professional environment where PVM's had to be near perfect but for someone who just wants to play games, eyeballing the convergence should be good enough IMO.

    I have a consumer set (A Sony KV-C25TD) In which I'm trying to adjust the convergence rings, but they seem to be stuck! How do I rotate them, is there something I need to loosen up first? I don't want to risk breaking anything. Or should I even, since it apparently came like this from the factory?

    • @displaytalk
      @displaytalk 4 года назад

      Convergence rings are usually adhered into position by epoxy or silicone from the factory. You'll have to somehow remove those adhesives if you want to make adjustments

      You may not care about this anymore but I’d guess it has a prism that separates the three colors out of the white so that they can be individually layered out

    Hello, thanks for the video. I have a question...
    I do have an small CRT, using the SNES via composite and the 240p tool, when I use the white dot option and the dot is in the middle of the screen is fine, but when I move the dot to the bottom of the screen is like I have the white dot, to the left there is a small green shadow, but on the top right corner is a big blue shadow. This can be fix with these dials?
    Thanks!

    • @RetroTechUSA
      @RetroTechUSA  4 года назад

      My exact model is rubbed off the label on mine. The manual list a few different models, but most of them are the same. As long as it's listed as a Convergence CRT Lens/Tool it should work well. I'm looking for other viable options too such as jeweler tools. I think they have some type of lens.
