Awesome pickup. I wish I had the space to safe all those crts. So glad that I got a good neighbour, who has no use for his storage space. I saved 3 B&Os and 3 Loewes since I started watching you.
I've seen the 33" version of this TV in Ireland, complete with motorized stand and the addition of a SCART socket. It would have been a high end TV at the time.
My family purchased the larger version of this set brand new in the early 90s. I thought that SNES running through S-Video looked incredible on it at the time.
They were a top of the line consumer TV in the day. Mitsubishi always made reliable televisions. All the AWA Thorn colour TVs sold in Australia besides a couple of dodgy British models in 1975 were rebadged Mitsubishi. Their VCRs were another thing though.
Saudações ! É uma bela tv , interessante ele não contar com entrada componente , parece ser da primeira metade da década de 90 . Outra caracteristica que chamou minha atenção é o tubo não ser muito espaçoso , lembra as ultimas tvs fabricadas com tubos ultra slim . Grande achado , parabens .
Funny how Thomson also used the Diva name (in their case labelled "black D.I.V.A.") for their Euro high end CRTs. Also having access to Focus and Screen pots from the back, at least for the 29" black D.I.V.A. I own. Real shame we went full on with the 100hz stuff here in Europe because some of 90s big tubes were quite the sets with plenty of SCARTs and Audio Out options.
Yeha I have a Thomson SP Black Pearl 36" 4:3 set, RGB 60Hz, 'tis stunning, has that rich arcade image quality for 240p, I prefer it even to my Sony HiBlack Trinitron 4:3 curved set for 8/16/-Bit games, the Sony is amazing for 32-Bit and up though.
I have the standard version of this tv still has a motorised stand just no woofer , you can rgb mod but you need a voltage divider I am having brightness issues but I don’t have a remote to navigate the settings , great set but they used cheap capacitors so will need a recap
Great overview, surprised me no RGB SCART, we had a Mitsubishi TV in the early 90s my Dad bought from Stan Cash that did have it….used to play my PC Engine and Super Famicom on it all the time…..didn’t seem to be much consistency in what manufacturers offered in Australia
I think you need a multiburst test pattern to see how the horizontal resolution setting affects the image. When using a composite input signal, turn the DCF (Comb filter) on and it will improve color fringing.
Re: horizontal res adjustment, Maybe try virtua fighter 2 or Dead or Alive on the Saturn since they run in an off-standard high res interlaced mode instead of 240p
Don't sleep on the South-Korean LG/Samsung/Hyundai/NEC CRT tubes, they made some stunning slotmask & Dot-Trio tubes, that rivalled Japans best, the Hyundai ImageQuest, NEC CromaClear and Samsung DynaFlat tubes gave the best aperture grill tubes a run for their money.
@ Hyundai ImageQuest used NEC CromaClear tubes made in South Korea, as did some Hitachi SuperScan sets, NEC didn't just have SKU's in Japan, neither did Sony (Spain/Mexico/Japan/UK/Germany/USA/Singapore/Malaysia), so Sony might have has the most extensive global CRT production program out of all of them, except perhaps RCA-Thomson. Hyundai ImageQuest CRTs are some of the best ever made, the Q995 is an absolute stunner.
28 system refers to the signal reception capability and colour system, which it will likely select automatically, that will likely be in the back of the manual in the specifications. Early 90s you'd be paying close to $3,000 for a high end 68cm like a Sony or a Japan made Panasonic. This was a fairly cheap price for this set, but then it isn't a Japan made model and is a fairly basic set. The swivel stand was a bit of a gimmick more than anything, but then some people may find that shit handy back in the day. Diva referred the the sound system in these Mitsubishi TVs, and they were not terrible at all really. You will probably find it will have the ability to have SCART sockets added, but the input board is probably isn't populated. If you keep an eye on ebay UK you may find the input board from the European version of the set, it'll be a simple quick swap in and then adjust a setting or two in the Serviceman menu. Quite a decent set for back in the day given the price, although it is a mid range set.
Oh dear, rotating a colour tv is a big no no. That's why they're only giving you 15deg in each direction. When I was installing colour tvs in the 1960s all the set up had to be done in situ where the TV was to be used.

Mate that is great work, especially the Euro sets like those.
thats an amazing neighbor!

how good with the scart!
Mitsubishi: They're Diamond!
Their 40" consumer sets are amazing, biggest size you could get for the longest time and top quality to boot.
I wish I'd been able to come out and pick this thing up. Had no idea the thing had a subwoofer until this video!
Nice pickup, Rob! I picked up a boxed 20" Trinitron recently and will do a video of that soon. Yours is definitely a cooler set though.
My family purchased the larger version of this set brand new in the early 90s. I thought that SNES running through S-Video looked incredible on it at the time.
Really cool piece of retro tecnology
The on screen menu is very fancy! It has the Mitsubishi logo in it!

That 15° each way for a total of 30° is actually pretty impressive.
Nice set. I wish I had room for a larger CRT.

4:10 Jerma Zorn music caught me off guard haha

i have a Mitsubishi 4k tv at home with same rotating system this is so usefull

My older brother had the 33 inch one. The remote control was huge, you could survive the Titanic sinking by floating on the remote control.

I was child, it used to have a TV from the same manufacturer with the same features at home.
I'd plug my Nintendo into this any day.
Is that Water World on SNES you have playing in the first half of the video?
yes well done!
Seems like a quite nice set despite being made in Singapore with a LG tube. Shame about the lack of a SCART socket.

@Wobble2007 NEC is Japanese, not Korean. And Hyundai didn't make any tubes.
Most of the CRT TV sold in Asia do not have SCART socket except it is import Europe version directly (such as B&O TV)
@ Hyundai ImageQuest used NEC CromaClear tubes made in South Korea, as did some Hitachi SuperScan sets, NEC didn't just have SKU's in Japan, neither did Sony (Spain/Mexico/Japan/UK/Germany/USA/Singapore/Malaysia), so Sony might have has the most extensive global CRT production program out of all of them, except perhaps RCA-Thomson.

Nice set cry,s have much better speakers this is great having a sub as well and the option of surround speakers.

The picture looks amazing, too bad no RGB SCART 😢. Will you mod it? Seems like a keeper.
不错啊
oh my god man what I wouldn't give to have my 29" Trinitron on a motorized base, I use a wheelchair and wrestling with that thing is the pits 😅
$1600 accounting for inflation would be like about $3257 today 😮
the warranty card looks like have a 4 cylinder turbocharger in it.
Why is it motorized?
the base is motorized so it's easier to turn
what year is it from? and why in the world would ya even want this old old tv lmao
A `lazy susan` rotating plate stand gets the job done cheaply and does not require a remote.😉
