So I was watching some movies on my 808s last night, and I noticed something again that I never know what to make of. Outside of the active image area (but I suspect still within the raster area), occasionally I see small white flashes. Not the entire area flashes, just a small amorphous blob for no longer than a single frame.
I've heard the term flashover regarding CRTs, but never actually experienced it, however I would think that flashover comes with audible ticking (at least) ? Anyone have any ideas what this could be? It doesn't really bother me so much as worries me if it's a symptom of a more severe problem about to rear it's head.

Have not seen that before. Look into the tubes and see what you can see.

I will try and take a peek, but it's very sporadic, sometimes it doesn't seem to happen at all for hours. I hooked up my PS4 through one of the TV one scalers and saw it again tonight, but it's really just a momentary flash. I might have to mount a camera to catch it.
Also, fun fact, 1080p coming from the PS4 through a HDfury gets quite a bit of image foldover at the sides. Running it through the TV One, output set to 1080p@60hz works without having to touch any porch timings or anything. Also aside from a slightly softer image (do note the magnetics have not been tweaked nor the focus settings really), it looks pretty damn good. No ringing either!

Do yourself a favour and ditch the HD Fury, get an internal MOOME.

I was thinking about that, but I'll have to go external for the blend. I'm thinking of trying one of the suggested 'cheap chinese' ones that are moddable to be decent.

Why would you have to use external for a blend? The internal works the same way...

Going to be blending with analog processors, so I need the HDMI->RGB conversion outside the projectors. That will be for 1080p though, for the higher res (whichever I settle on) will be PC fed, for that I might consider the moome cards, though I'm not a fan of the way the connections end up for Barcos.

The connections are fine, its not a drama.
Still no idea why you think you need to convert to RGB before the signal enters the set. Makes no difference signal wise where you do it, just the quality varies.

That would account for it yes
