- This is the Panasonic BT-H1390YN CRT Monitor. It is a 13" analog video monitor and might be the most unknown/underrated CRT in Retro Gaming. What do you think of the JVC combination on this CRT?

I recently got a BVM-A24E1WU and have been trying to set it up. I currently have it setup using HDMI to SDI and it looks great. I only have SDI inputs, but it can accept cards. What are the expansion cards called? I'd like to get one for RGB/Component, RCA, and S-Video. I'm lacking the knowledge on the terminology. Thank you! This BVM is beautiful!
Nice video as always. Fairly sure that both JVC and Panasonic were subsidiaries of Matsushita (also Sanyo), so that explains the components.
Always fun to see all the different types of monitors out there
I've got this exact monitor and it's great, glad to see someone give it the attention it deserves. The YN models came with P22 phosphors that, for my money, look very reminiscent of 90's arcade monitors. It's probably the only CRT in my collection that I'm going to keep in the long term.
Panasonics i'm finding to be very underrated! Got a freebee consumer grade one that's got a very sharp composite input compared to my JVC PVM
Great video and excellent PVM. Congratulations 🍾 on the upcoming 14k subscribers.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks dude!
I got lucky and purchased this monitor off Craigslist a couple years back. I had no idea what it was, but I knew it looked nice. I don’t think I paid more that $100-150 for it. Thanks for teaching me so much about it. I am so happy it’s in my Crt collection
There are some great monitors from other manufacturers out there. People also tend to underestimate how good a higher line count shadow mask tube can look. I have a JVC TM-H150CG that has 750 TV lines, and it looks amazing. Steve has shown one on the channel before. I also have a higher end JVC DT-V1710CG. This monitor has 800 TV lines and it actually has an interesting, completely flat aperture grill trinitron style tube. It looks absolutely stunning, and can go all the way up to 1080i in analog and digital modes. The only issue is that it can be finicky with sync from some consoles. I would like to see Steve take a look at that one in the future.
Love the Sonic CD music in the background
It’s not that music. It’s something else that he likes to play on the video.
@@mariokart8715 you're wrong that's tidal tempest US version in the video in the background, you gotta get your ears checked!
It’s the La La Doo one.
Just picked up one of these for $80, although it's not giving me proper picture at the moment. I'm definitely going to try and fix it though.
Also, regarding the JVC parts, JVC released the BM-H1310SU, and I believe that this Panasonic is a rebranded version of it. Matsushita (AKA Panasonic) was the majority stockholder of JVC until JVC merged with Kenwood in 2008.
Have a BT-H1450Y. Which is similar to that one. Great monitor!
nice, I have an olympus OEV 141 that's a rebadge of some panasonic pro-monitor or another. A bit older and more basic but the TVL count is still super crisp and the tube is probably the brightest I have. And the dot shadow mask looks really cool
Cool, yeah the 141 is a rebranding of a Panasonic Monitor. It's closer to the next Panasonic I'll review, the BT-H1350Y
I did some research, and it turns out the OEV 141 is a rebadge of the Panasonic MT-1480. I also have a 141.
You're right, the high TVL with a dot mask gives it such a unique look, especially playing 240p!
Just picked up a BT-S1360Y from an auction for $25!
Having the hardest time finding the service manual for this specific model- produced 1992
It works perfectly with my N64 S-Video streaming capture setup, and the condition is breathtaking for the age. Am curious if the original owner (forensics professor at a community college) replaced any interior parts or restored it in some way. I suppose this is a 2-part question:
Does this BT-S1360Y service manual exist somewhere online, and what would clues of restored work look like if I do go inside?
Thanks for the amazing content as always.
I literally just watched a Vice video yesterday where they featured this monitor throughout showing footage from the 80's, and I couldn't find out where it was anywhere (they'd removed all the branding)! Crazy timing! The video is "Did the CIA Actually Sell Crack in the 1980's" for anyone interested.
Cool
yea they use a stack of two JVC monitors for a lot of the background and older cut in shots. Really cool to see a broader audience see them, they mostly just get used for art installations and museums.
It's somehow impossible to Infos on Panasonic bts are they so rare?
I recently picked up a JVC BM-1400PNKA and this Panasonic basically looks identical, it has exactly the same outer frame, exactly the same front and back panels, and even the menu options are the same. I wonder how much inside the Panasonic is actually unique or is it simple a 100% rebranded product?
Found two of these near me, sadly they are broken past any repair I'm capable of.
I have JVCs 20" version of this monitor the BM-H2000, it's really well made and the picture looks wonderful.
Looks great, 750TVL is nice too at that size. It's a shame it doesn't do 480p but surely 480i is good enough on such a screen. I have the potential to pick one of these up free from work where it would have likely had light use in the AV gallery of a lecture theatre or possibly used as an external monitor for viewing edits or monitoring VHS duplication.
so cool. there's a world of monitors outside the sony PVMs that people are sleeping on. probably a lot cheaper, too
I have the JVC equivalent of your monitor. It’s labeled: BM-H1400PN great monitor! 👍🏻
I have this exact monitor! First one I ever bought!
Dang yea, this looks just like my JVC H19" set, same 750 tv lines, everything looks great on it. Multiformat monitors would be great but are insanely priced, so these work great for me.
I've got the JVC version of the the TM-H1400PN its such a great little monitor, really sucks it cant do higher than 480i though, i love palying games on it, its annoying finding good methods of watching anime on it though. i've been using the first generation apple tv with a kodi build called kinos2 it works well and looks good at 480i over component
Would be nice if you can get an ikegami 1517r! (:
I have the manual, but I can't seem to figure out how to restore my default settings.
Any chance you can walk me through, button by button, how to reset the monitor to it's default settings?
I messed something up in the service menu, and now I have no menu. I'm flying blind! help!
sweet monitor, i wonder what do you think of slot mask used in LG monitors?
How do you access the service menu on these (if it has one)
Hi, I have the exact same monitor but the previous owner messed with the setting and he can't remember which settings he changed and the TV turns on but stay on black screen, is there a way to reset the monitor to factory settings? If so, can you please help me/ guide me how to do it? Thank you for your video.
PVMs are overrated. But I’m glad because it makes other brands easier to find. My JVC is my baby and I like the shadow mask way more than trinitron.
JVC's are criminally underrated
@@ShamanNoodles that's good, keeps the prices low while everyone is overpaying for PVMs
@@treefroggy couldn't agree more. Most people don't know that JVC D series sets 27+ inches have 700 TVL 👀 that's more than most PVMs!
How can you put your hand on a 400 volts capacitor ?
I have this monitor.
While fishing through the service menu, I must've accidentally entered a setting by mistake. Now the monitor only displays a solid color. No menu. No inputs work. Ugh.
I've got a dead one of those. Stopped working a year ago, powers on, never gets an image, not even the menus. Voltages on PSU seem ok.
Stored it, in case I find another, and need some parts.
Anyone know why it says SDI next to the component input, does this monitor also accept a 15khz digital signal through BNC?
Good question
By any chance Steve, do you have any unknown CRT of PVM units in your pad that you like to share your thoughts on regarding there functuality and how they stand up to well known units in comparison? Would love to listen in on what you have to say about them. 8^)
Anthony..
Hey Anthony. I am going to try and work together some showdowns coming in 2022. I also will show off the more odd and different CRTs I get/Have. Next up will be a video on the JVC 36" D series!
Is this kinda like the JVC PVM inside the Commodore 1702?
Yes! JVC was a highly trusted CRT manufacturer at the time.
this monitor is very similar to monitors from jvc. please do a review on jvc monitors.
I've got some JVC stuff coming
think JVC and Panasonic were under the same umbrella back then...
Are the most common PVM/BVMs Sony?
Yes, they made the most of them
480i on a good monitor looks almost as good as 480p.
This or the 14inch jvc? 🤔
Both
This kinda is a 14 inch JVC. The JVC and Panasonic PVMs both used Matsushita tubes.
now connect a Panasonic Q to it.
That would have been a great fit for this one. If only I had a Q
Ahh yes, adapter quality matters when you have a crappy old crt monitor😂
