HI and good day to all. I am just very glad this site exists. Thanks to Hulio and redfox and pcguy for their advice. Because of these guys and this site of course,i was confident enough to bring it up to specs. My cinemax had a startup issue earlier ( about a month back ) and it has been fixed and running smoothly. Basically , my Pj started to not power up from standby. I have started posting on another crt site for help and advice.But was almost ignored. Fortunately , i was advised to go this site and was to able reference the service manual. and so I just readjusted the 17volts, raster width P200 and the h raster from the menu to get it to work smoothly. It has been three weeks of nightly viewing and still no issues. Thanks a million guys for keeping this hobby alive.  |

Welcome. Yeah, i remember answering you at the other forum. Shortly after that, my post was deleted. There are a few CineMax/Cine9/BR909 users here and the mod is prety strong in electronics. So you are in the right place . |

Hi guys i am back,
Thanks for welcoming me to your site.
Case, always a pleasure to hear from you. always read your post on the other site
I again want to say that it is great to own a crt pj and to have a support forum like this.
It is so vital to keep the crt pj going, because it really does project a very good image over digital pjs.
I just want to post my own thoughts on 4k digital pjs over crts at 1080p.
This past Sunday, had the chance to check out the sony vw500es 4k pj(10k + USD ) in a hifi store.
They used a 4k demo Disc with Tom Cruise' oblivion as sample.
I noticed right away the flatness of the image or the depth of the image was not there.
And also along with it the depth of color was missing.
It is not as close to film but more like a computer graphic rendered image.
Crt is very close to film especially when you get it to project a sharp image,
it does not have to be as sharp as digital , but just enough as our 20/20 vision would preceive as lifelike.
The sense of depth in crt,convinces us we are viewing a natural scene.
Plus black is an actual color in real life and crt.
In digital pjs black does not exist.
Yes, a digital tv box woud do contrast and black levels well , but for how much and what size?
We prefer PJs for its ability to project a big image and its the ability to adjust the screen proportions.
9 inch Crts plus a good video processor or an oppo player is way better and cheaper than a single 4k digital pjs.
Nothing is gonna take me away from my Barco Crt for now.
