Thanks for this. Selling my PVM-14M2 and replacing it with a JVC TM-H150CG this Wednesday. I’ll need to wait for the BNC board to come in from the UK, but really looking forward to it!
another very interesting video.it isnt much particular use to me because i dont own a pvm, just a couple of consumer crt's, but a lot still translates to consumer crt's. i still learn a bit about maintaining and fixing these beautiful machines. your content is probably very valuable in the future for enthusiast since a lot of the old school repair guys are retiring. around where i live just about every repairshop that fixed crts has been closed down in the last 10/15 years and you cant really find people with the knowledge, expertice and equipement anymore
Thank you so much Steve! This is the third video you have done showing how to calibrate a monitor I own. It is so useful! I had to look high and low it seems before I found this information when I did this to mine. Now it's right here! I have a video on this monitor, and I purchased the JVC RGB card, before the one you have was made available! 200$ versus 70$ but no biggie. It's nice to have official products as well. You do so much for the community and I want you to know that I appreciate it! Thanks Brother!
Great video, I bought one 2 weeks ago and according to the seller it has been barely used. I'm still waiting for the linuxbot3000 RGB input card before doing the adjustments you described in order to enjoy it fully. Thanks for your very informative content, I like your channel a lot !
I have this monitor along with that same rgb card and can tell you it's amazing. I use it for snes. it's perfect. got a one chip, ghost cap fix, brightness mod, quality cables.
@@sam-oh3wy I received the card today, I can confirm what you said the picture is gorgeous. I also have a profeel PVM and I think I like the JVC better.
I got this monitor yesterdayt, this video is exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot, I've seen a lot of videos in your channel lately while trying to find a good monitor, had the chance to get this one and your videos convinced me to buy it. I haven't regret so far! but I have to get some RGB cables for ma SNES and other consoles.
I picked up a Panasonic BT-H1490YN a few weeks ago for next to nothing and it's got the same menu system. I've noticed that the regular menu, has options for size and position for the RGB inputs, so it can be calibrated for RGB and composite/S-video and get a good compromise for both. The option only shows when fed RGB.
Wish you did one on a consumer crt like a I’art or DSeries. Jvc on the consumer side is really limited on the service menu. And how to adjust the yolk. On mine they sealed the nut with epoxy and cant get it out to adjust.
hello I bought a jvc tm-h150cg monitor on ebay and the image is tilted horizontally, do you think you can adjust it with the geometry parameters in the menu or do you have to rotate the deflection yoke?
Hello. I have the H1750CG and when I press menu and contrast I can get into the hidden menu but there’s no adjustment for changing the picture other than x / y positioning. Is there another video or does this model not support that kind of adjustment?
thank you so much Steve , at 10:41 my H1750CG at full brightness (Max screen on flyback) it show light orizontale lignes ,and when when i balance the screen it give perfect picture quality again, What do you think ?
Was hoping this may shed some light on how to correct the geometery on my D-Series (AV27D104). But of course the consumer set has less service menu options than the pro set. Turns out I can only adjust horizontal position but not h size or anything else. All my adjustments are limited to the vertical settings. Forgive me for not knowing the terminology but it seems I have either a slight trapezoid distortion or a slight S pincushion distortion? Basically there is underscan on the upper right, upper left, and lower left edges of my screen. I can push the h position to the left and then the underscan on the left goes out of frame, but on the top right it gets worse. And vice versa. There is no middle ground where none of it shows. I just wanna push those flaws out of the way by overscaning them on both sides but I caaaant since the horizontal size is locked.
I find that when I try to overscan this monitor, it begins to pincushion if you try and go past a certain point. The geometry is otherwise more or less fine. Have you ever seen this issue?
I always liked JVC monitors Steve. I thought they were good contenders to compete with Sony. They hold up as time progresses and worth investing into one bro. 8^) Anthony..
Yeah, I like them too. I think they made some great CRTs. I've also got the large JVC D-Series. It's a fantastic consumer set, but personally Sony Trinitrons are still my favorite. Thanks Anthony
Hi, this is a great video! I have the exact monitor with SCART module, but i can't get it to work. All i am getting is very fast scrolling lines from a NEOGEO MVS scart mod. Is there anywhere i can adjust the vertical hold (or whatever it is called?) Thanks
I have a 1750cg in pretty good shape, really like it. However if I try to increase the horizontal size to about where you got it I get this pincushion effect where the top and bottom continue to widen but the middle edges will not exceed a certain point (about a cm from the screen edge). Therefore I need to keep it underscanned a bit more than I'd like. Do u no what would cause this? Possibly a cap issue? Everything else seems to be operating correctly.
@@RetroTechUSA ok thanks, I kinda figured. It doesn't bother me much now so not a priority at this point. I think I over exaggerated a bit too as it's more like a half a cm from the sides. So it's definitely ok as is being a bit underscanned for now.
@@Cathode_Days not yet, I haven’t used it that much so I kinda forgot about it. I recapped my other 2 so far (a 20m2 and 2530) but didn’t find a cap kit for this monitor yet. I’d like to recap it at some point though.
@@karld4737 I have other monitors too but something about this ones colours and sharpness just makes me wanna use it a lot. I think I’ll look for a cap list too.
good day! My monitor has a slightly obstructed bottom right corner. the geometry control is set to 8. It has no greater adjustment. is it possible to fix it?
Hi! Im from Ukraine, I like your video! Dear friend, can you help me? I got TM-H150CG, and I have horizontal linearity on left side, little bit, but on 2d platformers its look not good, maybe its problem of cap or its defect of tube ??? Thanx !!!

Why did you swap to a JVC?
@@iShredStreets I didn't in the end! I wasn't happy with the JVC so sold that instead. Although I'm now down to just one PVM (20L4).
These are a great line of pro monitors. Excellent image quality and typically much lower asking prices than comparable Sony pvms.
Thanks for this video , I finally got myself one of these JVC's.

That's interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Most PVMs and other monitors don't have separate calibration settings for each input.
Hi Steve, Great video. May I check where can I get the cartridge/program used for the calibration featured in this video?
Wish you did one on a consumer crt like a I’art or DSeries. Jvc on the consumer side is really limited on the service menu. And how to adjust the yolk. On mine they sealed the nut with epoxy and cant get it out to adjust.
This JVC monitor is dope. Can you do more videos on it?
Thanx mate you the best on this things

Press Menu + Contrast/Bright. This is the Landing option. Thanks to it, we can rotate the image 🙃 Not everyone knows about it.

I have the same monitor but it looks like my whole image is rotated a bit..
is there any tips you can share? thanks!!
hi, is there any way to save presets in the settings? obviously some inputs have different display requirements

is it possible to adjust the horizontal linearity?
my monitor's right circles are slightly fatter than the left ones. Thanks
Which card should I use to connect the jvc tm-h150cg to the computer?
Could I follow this for calibrating my JVC AV-32F703 I'ART's geometry / overscan?
Is there a way to correct horizontal linearity on these monitors?
Is there a way you know of how to get the Service Menu values set back to factory default??

@@RetroTechUSA thanks for the video! Those jvc are great monitors but they are just too sharp, is there a way to reduce the tickness of scanlines?

Set h-position and v-position in the set menu to 0 before starting configuration in the service menu?
Hey Retro Tech,
I have one of these crts and it's image is slightly rotated. Is there someway to rotate the image being displayed?

The geometry on that monitor was already fine when you turned on the 240p test suite.

Possible watch Steve's Convergence fix videos.

Sharpness.
