Thank you for the help, this will help me greatly.

What is the special name for these GE TVs like the one in this KZbin video, this shape and size?

i have the exact same tv. its beat up and rotting somewhere. but I know the last time I turned it on it had no sound and a tube with high hours.

I played countless hours of PS2 Guitar Hero and Rock Band on one of these

Get the Tru-Tone C7 LED lights - they look EXACTLY like incandescent lights. Well worth the cost. They come in opaque Classic colors and the transparent Jeweltone.

We were taught in electronics class to use a ball pean hammer and gently tap the neck area with a cloth over the area to prevent any glass from flying in your face.

😂

Does that model come with fresnel lens

Mercury vapor clear lamps emit a very bluish light, but they don’t look like a metal halide, daylight CFL, or LED. I heard you hate the white light of daylight LEDs, so I doubt you like daylight CFLs or metal halide lighting either. You probably only like soft white CFL, incandescent, halogen, HPS, or mercury vapor.

Because of the way these fixtures flood a wide area with light they are generally refered to as floodlights . Spotlights on the other hand, have a beam with a hotspot or brighter spot of light of varying width of degrees with an area of not so bright light (spill light) surrounding the hotspot depending on the reflector.

I have one identical to this, I made a short of it called mv nostalgia which I highly recommend checking out! You won’t be disappointed

Does anybody know how to change input without a remote?

The sad part about these new halo/lithonia lighting bucket lights is that I've seen some fail after not even a year! That's super disappointing compared to proper HID bucket lights with twist lock photocells and all metal. Most bucket lights (besides MH) will last you 50+ years!

😢

How do you say safe? If the main capacitor is not discharge?!

The DX mercury bulb color looks similar to MH but less crisp, they also seem to be a little warmer than MH in color

Don’t bash me but I actually like LEDs

Seems to have one of those clear lamps in it, I prefer the coated ones

Hey, this is a dumb question, but do you know if you can change the brightness of that type of TV?

Seems like the whole world is trying to ban every single non-LED light source largely due to the Minamata Convention on Mercury and due to environmental groups opposing incandescent and halogen lamps for their inefficiencies. I sometimes have felt that some governments want to confiscate and destroy every non-LED light source and want to lock people in prison for the possession and/or use of non-LED lighting. Fortunately, that is not the case in the USA so far.

Im here because i saw some red mercury videos what do you think is red mercury real????

I’ve never had an issue and I’ve never discharged a tv or grounded it out.

I love looking at the inside of old tvs and computers

thanks my man

LED is where it’s at, even the most tacky fixtures!

Even though HID lamps are supposedly discontinued, they won’t totally disappear. They are probably still being produced in China, although inferior to US and European made lamps. They are still readily available in places like Habitat ReStore and even some big box DIY centers. You can get HID lamps for a couple dollars or more at any ReStore.

I have one of these I dont know how to hook it up to my games and change the input any help would be great

flood light

I just got one and it's great but I changed the input accidentally somehow trying to go through the menu. Now I can not put it back into the game input without a remote and of course I don't have it. Got to figure out something for it because it was awesome while I did get to use it.

What is this tv in this KZbin video made up of on the outside? It isn’t a wooden tv.

Metal halide looks less like an LED than a daylight cfl. Daylight CFLs are probably the closest to daylight LEDs in color, and when i see a daylight bulb i can’t even tell if it’s a CFL or LED unless i look at it.

i just ordered one of these and a ps2. i never had a ps2 i really wanted to play socom.

For a budget set this thing has a damn good picture.

Where can you still find TVs like this one? Like new ones not pre owned or used ones?

I had this particular unit for a while in 2017

I need part 2

I got the same tv but mines doesn’t have the three cord thing in the front mine only has two in the front is there any difference between them?

Nice video! I found one of these for cheap. I can’t wait to pick it up!

it would be good for watching 360p videos on lcds are bad for these

When my father used to fix TVs he always grounded the screwdriver to the metal chassis with a wire with alligator clips.

Awesome Video!! I bought up several of these mercury vapor fixtures and other HID lights over the past decade from eBay, FB marketplace, and yard sales just because I like the cool tone and watching the initial "warm up" when they first come on! I just know that someday I'll put one or two into use in my personal dwelling, no matter how much LED's have really taken over.

So, for the fact that you didn’t show the discharging (sounds dangerous) I am now leaving for another video. Consider filming a new video, safety is important (to state the importance of discharging safely)

Have you ever tried to gain access to the service menu to fix that overscan problem that most CRT televisions suffer from?

Can you please tell me where to drill the hole ?

How did your age go straight from 16 to 18? Wouldn’t it be 16, 17, then 18?

Tons and tons of led

My late brother use to have one.

this would be great if it didn't squish the image horizontally..

How can I set this up please help me

Great job good video!
