What separates a consumer CRT from a professional video monitor? The TVS CM-14DNA CCTV monitor made by Taiwan Video Systems has the robust build you’d expect from a security monitor with the simplified engineering of a consumer CRT. Equipped with more than 400 TVL’s, the phosphors in this Chunghwa shadow mask are reminiscent of a small arcade monitor when retro gaming in 240p.
With stock composite and S-video, all that was missing were the all important RGB inputs to unlock its full potential. Sooo were the upgrades enough to elevate it to the equivalent of a broadcast video monitor to edit the eventual upcoming Fast & Furious 64? Watch to find out.
As a side note, if you have ever needed a replacement Sony badge for a 9 or 13” PVM, BVM or consumer Trinitron, then I show how to scrap one from a Sony speaker that you may already have or that you may find cheap at a thrift store. Bigger Trinitrons usually have a larger badge.
Topics covered: Composite vs S-Video vs RGB, TVL’s, Dithering, Mister FPGA composite video blending, TATE, using a Sony badge from an official Sony speaker to replace on a 14” PVM or BVM (or to give a non-Sony CRT some flair)
