This CRT Convergence Tool is a Must Own!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2019
- 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.

Because you made this video, it is now impossible to find these anywhere.
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.
Just came across this video in hopes to fix the convergence issue on my crt, but went to go purchase the tool you mention and psst 😅 I might as well toss this tv for that cost.
There is a little bit of whine from the flyback in this video. Sorry if you can hear it.
This literally is perfect since I just messaged you about convergence this past weekend. Excited to make adjustments! Good job!
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.
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.
Great tool, but can't wait to see video about BVM D14H5 :)
Could you please link a way I can get one of these lens? I want to save my 32in Philips from going to the dump... ;-;
Best hair in the retro gaming community.
lol
amazing video, thank you,
struggleing to fix my dell p1130 back to normal. i find it so hard to do it with naked eye
The more and more I watch the more I realize how lucky I was finding a low hour fw900
Could you explain how to use that lens? What does good vs bad convergence look like through it?
Yes!! Please.
Oh how I wish you lived near NY so I could bring you all of my Sony Trinitrons 😂
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.
Reduced eye strain. Looking at something small and bright can literally hurt.
Excellent, Video. What about if the Red beam is the only one "out"? Green and blue seems correct but red is too low... This is a CRT TV KV-29FA210, by the way.
Excellent, Video. What about if the Red beam is the only one "out"? Green and blue seems correct but red is too below... This is a CRT TV KV-29FA210, by the way. Can you answer, please?
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?
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
Hey Steve,
For a future video, thinking of doing another comic book pickup haul soon? I relay would like to see more of your purchases and talking about the background on them bro. 8^)
Anthony..
im just curious to know if this can also be done with a small pocket microscope. if its just a lens to enlarge what youre looking at i think it might work.. i must have a small pocket microscope in a drawer somewhere so i might check it out
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
@@DaleFrewaldt That would defeat the purpose.
Is there a cheaper substitute lens? These all seem to be sold out.
I think there is some type of jewelry or jewelers lens that perform the same function, but I've not researched that at all yet.
Pretty sure a macro lens on a video camera could pull off the same thing.
That lens works well on a medium-to-large crt... How well does it work on a 5 "incher"?
I'm not sure. I can test it on an 8".
@@RetroTechUSA Thank you. ...I'm curious as to how the line convergence will look on a 250-line monitor, through this lens. Just looking at my 250-line pvm screens, their scanlines look like pixels, when they have an aperture grill. ...Though upon saying that, Im wondering now how the convergence lines look on a 250-line shadow mask monitor, through this lens.
is purity the sharpness?
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!
Steve you killed me here.. i was trying to get one of those.. now it's almost impossible.. which model is the one You have? I've noticed there are several different kinds of those tools.
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.
I think it can be handmade, just need right type of lens
Howdy. Do you know specifically what model that is? Wonder if it says on it anywhere. I see the booklet that came with it. So it seems like it must be one of the two models that list 'green' as the center prism.
Hey Sorry, It doesn't list the exact model on the unit. The label is worn off.
@@RetroTechUSA you have the CM7AG model, you can tell by the 0.5 mm (for monitor use).
$970!!! 😕 for a lens?
Lol I wish but that tool is mighty expensive
i just zoom in with my phone, does the same thing
not even close. good story though.
i mean, you see all 3 colors next to each other, instead of them seperated. That's the only difference. So it does do the same thing.@@DegenGaming

i would never do this. the inside of a crt looks like a tombstone with a skull and bones. horrified.
You're weak. Leave it to the pros then.
