HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2024
- Above average SD CRT with component inputs and a flat screen.
0:00 Build quality.
2:27 Back of the TV.
3:45 Scanlines.
4:51 Edge enhancement problems.
5:36 Menu options.
7:03 Color calibration with theater gels.
8:53 Geometry with grid pattern.
9:36 Black levels.
10:04 White balance and some color options in the menu.
10:46 Final thoughts. Should you get an X-flat?
Tried leaving a comment but it got wiped off RUclips lol. But an average tv to look out for is the sharp 27sc26b, or any of the many like it. It's like a jvc d series with smaller speakers, but strangely it has a 16:9 mode, and screen tilt rotation. Dangerouscousin has posted how to turn off edge enhancement on those curved 27" sharps. The 27sc26b has a Sharp branded tube too.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I will look into how to turn off the edge enhancement. I was curious about the endge enhancement and the type of tube so thanks again.
I definitely didn't wipe your comment. I only do that when people advertise some weird product like nail polish or whatever in my comments. Seems like RUclips has been wiping a lot of comments lately.
@@riggel8804 the setting in the service manual I had to change was VSM gain, and to turn it off, it had to set it to the max, which was 3. I think I used too many slashes in my comment or something lol.
@@robbyjvc cool. I pinned your comment so hopefully anyone interested in this tv will see it.
@@riggel8804 Yep. I have been noticing this too! You actually left a comment on one of my videos about if I wanted to play Street Fighter 2 with you online. I saw in my comment preview window, but when I went to look at the actual comment it was obliterated. :(
@@KindaCool that happens to me a lot where i can see it in the notifications but not on the video. In this case I didn't even get a notification for robby jvc's comment. It's annoying and discourages people from leaving comments.
But yeah. I play street fighter on fightcade almost every night. If you ever want to play me on there hit me up or we could play a coop game like streets of rage or something
Your absolutely right about looking at the grid vs the 240p menu for geometry stuff. I swear that grid will play tricks on you if you stair at it too long
*Just got one for free , complete with its original remote 👌 awesome set!*
Cool man. I've seen directions on crtgaming redit on how to disable the edge enhancement. Might want to check it out
Not much to say, it looks like a decent TV, but I just wanted to thank you for making videos about consumer sets. It feels like most videos are about PVMs / BVMs, which I am sure are great, but they are just getting too expensive these days, and I prefer the larger sizes of consumer sets anyways.
Thanks! I saw a void on RUclips and decided to fill it.
Great video Riggs, eventually the Sony Trinitrons will dry up and CRTs like this will still be available. I’ve got 7 Sony Trinitron Wega CRTs now in my basement/game room including 2 36 inch models with stands. I’m having to stop picking them up due to lack of space even know I hate not snatching them.
I have maxed out my space as well. What I do now is pick up any tv I want but after I pick one up I have to drop one off at the dump. Sadly I had to drop this Sharp off at the dump. I had a couple bad experiences giving them away.
I have the same desease. I think the psychiatrists should give a name to this behavior we have haha
@@COS34SHMUP Sadly I think it's called collecting. Makes it hard for me to talk shit on collectors when I got 14 CRTs.
If it's like certain models of the larger Toshiba AF series there's a cable inside that can be unplugged to disable velocity modulation. Be sure to unplug the TV and discharge the tube before doing so.
Love this TV. Reminds me of a TV my cousin and I used to play on. Any CRT is a good CRT I'd say. Will be a sad day when CRT's are no longer around.
All crts are beautiful in their own way. They're like fat women. Big, unappreciated and beautiful.
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago and honestly, I couldn't believe how great the picture was. Fantastic geometry, crazy sharp (for real). I ended up getting rid of it because I have too many CRTs already. And yes, these suckers are a bit heavier then 27" Sonys by a good bit.
I figured it was at least as heavy as a Trinitron.
Did you get a chance open it up and see who made the tube?
@@riggel8804 No I didn't, actually. 😕
I actually grew up with Sonys and I always do a double take whenever I see one of those bubble tubes in real life because I never imagined that other Tvs could look that much different.
Yeah. It's the same with me. I bet if we grew up with bubble tubes in our rooms we would prefer them over aperture grill tubes.
Great review. Seems like a decent TV overall. I'd hit it if I saw one on the curb! 😛
Thanks for this video. It helped me get one when I had the chance this weekend and in amazing condition!
Looks great with my PlayStation 2 through component!
hell ye. PS2 looks soo good on a good crt compared to an lcd.
Hopefully one day you can get your hands on a Sharp 32F461. That one is an excellent example of Sharp design and workmanship
The days of free crts on Craigslist are over. I gave up looking for tubes.
Does the NES light gun (zapper) work on this TV?
I had a 27" sony fs100 knock-off branded Citizen tv given to me a few years ago. Having once owned a real Sony kv-32fs100, I was not expecting much of a picture. However, I was very impressed once i cleaned it and hooked up the ps2 via component!
Cool man. Thanks for sharing. I get surprised once in awhile with cheap tvs too. Some have really good tubes in them. There isn't a lot of info out there on some of these cheaper tubes. You should do a review on your Ciizen tv.
@@riggel8804 I unfortunately had to scrap it a few years ago. I moved into my rv and had to let it go. At the time it was difficult to even give these away.
@@jamesglasbergen7506 Haha I get it. It's hard to get anything over 20 inch through an rv door.
Riggel could you do a video like this one but review for a JVC D Series ? The tweaks on those seem to be limited in the service menu compared to Trinitrons but I would like to optimize one that I just received
What do you want to correct on your d series? I haven't messed around in the d series service menu but I have a d series that needs a white balance adjustment and I might do a video on that one day. I've got some other crts that I am more excited about right now.
Sharp was so nice in this Era
I have the sharp cr27fs1. Very similar. Mine has the flat top so I can put my vcr on top xD.
fs1...I wonder if that was the first xflat they made. There is a sony xxfv1 out there as well but I've never seen it. It was the first flat screen sony crt I believe.
I ahve the same tv but theres verticle distortion on the left and right sides about 4 inches from the each side and its really noticable with horizontal scrolling. How coukd i fix it? Or make it better?
I have a sharp xflat as well. I got mine from a sweet old lady near my school who said they would feel bad if they junked it because the picture was good. I snagged it and I love it to pieces. I would only trade it for a 27 inch wega Trinitron, but even then, I think it wouldn’t be much of an upgrade. I can’t play Wii, ps2 or N64 on any other tv now.
yeay 480i looks a lot better on sd crts. The Sharp is a solid tv
Subbed, love the channel being a CRT lover.
I heard that late model CRTs (like 2000s and after) that were in the same competitive price bracket of the time as trinitrons are nearly if not equally as good
Negative buckshot. The almighty Trinitron has more scanlines than the JVC and the Toshiba COMBINED.
But in all seriousness. No. For the most part.
@@riggel8804 interesting, thank you!
@@jonjonmia ye
I have the same TV. The blue screen option is for when you change the channel, or input device, and there is no signal or tv channel to tune to. Instead of staying static it puts up a blue screen.
Ah. I see. D series do the same thing. Thanks.
Thank you! I was between fixing my art (childhood TV) which was the JVC i Art but found one of these localy, and cheaper* "better then the JVC I art"- wont be trashing my JVC though will see if anyone with the know hows on how to fix wants it for free
Your channel should have way more subs. RUclips is tripping.
Thanks!
I love sharp tvs because nitendo had a partner ship with them when they made tvs for hotels
I'm confused on why you would want to turn edged enhancement off ? Wouldn't you prefer a sharper image? I just wanted to hear your opinion on the topic
It looks wack. It isn't real sharpness (like what you get with a higher line count monitor). It's more like pseudo sharpness. It looks like someone went over all the sprites and outlined them with a sharpy. It's one of the few things that all CRT gamers agree on-turn off the edge enhancement.
When you say low end set I think Citizen, Sears, Orion. I imagine most brands that have component connections will have a overall decent picture. Only Sony has the wow factor though.
I almost grabbed an orion the other day...I have seen low end tubes with component video that have a ,"screen door pattern ". These tvs are interesting because I think they actually look better with composite video instead of component. I am still on the look out for one. I had a JVC IART that looked like this but I took it to the dump already.
@@riggel8804 That's sad when they go to the dump lol
I am about to pick up one of these tomorrow to replace an Insignia 24" I currently have. I am looking for something with noticeable scanlines. I know it's not going to be a Trinitron, but are the scanlines acceptable at least? Will you notice them slightly?
Yeah dude.As long as it's at least 27 inches you are going yo get solid scanlines. Pretty close to a trini. I think you are going to be happy.
We had a Sharp "Linytron" in the 80s (definitely were copying Sony lmao) 😂
I noticed Flat screen CRTs of this style always have minor bowing at the edges
Crt gonna crt
Would you recall what input the S Video would be on ? I don’t have a remote for mine
dontknow
It's input 1. I saw it when he showed the back of the TV.
Will any blue gel filter work or does it have to be a specific kind?
You can actually do it by eye and just try and match intensity but your better with a blue gel filter. Any blue gel is going to be better than using your eye. If they are cheap I would say buy a lighter and a darker one and use whichever one works best. I ended up using the darker of my two.
@@riggel8804 Thanks, I have an RCA composite only set and the colors are way off. I will reply when i get my blue gel in the mail and share my results.
@@riggel8804 Ok so my blue gel arrived and it worked really well, i had to fold it over itself to block all the red and the green though, but once i did and followed your method it made a huge improvement. Thanks a million
@@agrisimfarming cool! Thanks for getting back to me and letting me know how it went. Good idea folding it in half. I hadn't thought of that.
Aren’t most consumer TVs from the 90s and 2000s made in Mexico? Even consumer Sony Trinitrons for the US market from the era are made in Mexico. The only consumer Sony TVs I’ve seen made in Japan are the ones from the 80s and older and the small CRTs like the KV-9PT50. The professional grade monitors are indeed made in Japan.
It might be that the tvs are assembled in Mexico but I believe the tubes are made in Japan. I want to say all the Sony Wega and XBR tubes (late 90s early 2000s) I have seen are made in Japan. I could be wrong though. It's not something I have paid a lot of attention to.
What'd you end up doing with this set?
Sadly the Sharp gut dumped.
I have one
Will light guns work on this?
ye
@@riggel8804 thx for the reply.
@@az_tinkerer_gamer ye ye
Cons
• Not supporting Euro AV ( RGB Scart )
• Not supporting Component AV ! 😕
It will accepted component natively and rgb with a transcoder
@@riggel8804 Euro AV and Component AV types different than standart versions !
Both of them close the AV Multi Out S - Video but still Euro AV better than AV Multi Out S - Video and Component AV better than Euro AV if you wanna use CRT TVs like Sony • KV-36FV310 or Sony • 34" KD-XBR960 !
@@berkealisenelyt is this tv available in Europe?
@@riggel8804 Yep , of course !
Why not ?
@@berkealisenelyt I figured Sharp would give it a different model number in Europe. I don't know a lot about European crts but that is my understanding.
So did you get rid of it? And if not, do you wanna sell it?
sorry dude. took it to the dump
@@riggel8804 >:(
Looks dead like my 25"sony even the speaker grills
I have the model 27F543 and its excelent by component for my ps2 and S video snes ps1 sega dreamcast areally good tv even better that a sony wega kv27fs120
Used this TV for a few years as my main while looking for a similar 27” Flat Trinitron set. These are ok TV’s, a lot better than RCA’s or Magnavox offerings of the time. But even a Panasonic will look noticeably better, and JVC. With Sony just taking the cake as usual (sorry nerds who can’t accept Sony being the best) Toshibas are junk.
