Have you considered RGB modding some of those coax only tvs? If they have RGB mods available you can get the best picture quality possible out of them. Also where you located? My marketplace in NY has loads of people trying to give their tvs away for free or super cheap. These things are heavy. I guess the smaller sets tend to command some cash (and some famous tiny models go for a lot). Possibly try expanding your search radius if you are willing to drive.
- busterarm 3y ago"best picture quality" is kinda subjective. Most consumer CRTs were kind of ass. There's a reason that what's sought after these days are old broadcast reference monitors that cost $20,000+ when new.
- nebula8804 3y agoI meant best picture quality that particular TV could produce. ie. the limitation isn't the video signal anymore once you do the mod.
- busterarm 3y agoThe limitation is the maintainability of the tube. Cheap tubes go out easily and their repairability is limited. Especially phosphor/beam issues. Cheap tubes also don't have features that assist you in maintaining them or correcting for picture issues that develop.
- nebula8804 3y agoWhat are you even talking about? We are talking about getting the best picture out of an existing TV set that works. RGB Mod > Coaxial
- busterarm 3y agoI'm saying most sets aren't worth the effort to keep around. You're talking about putting a pig in a dress.
- kowbell 3y agoI have been considering the mod! I’ve watched a video or two about that mod but I don’t want to rush into it with CRTs all having electrical bits on them that can kill me if I do something wrong. I’m entirely new to electrical tinkering but eager to learn for this circuit bending stuff. I’m east coast but not near NY… maybe I can justify it by renting a U-Haul van and filling it with TVs ;)
