Almost Too Perfect? JVC TM-H1950CG CRT Video Monitor Overview and 240p/480i Video Show

I show some things involving this insane video monitor and as to why it might be too good for old video games, especially compared to a crt tv

check out jam's video stuff, including the card that slots into the back of this video monitor he makes

This JVC monitor looks really similar to a CRT computer monitor I used to own that I ran at 2560x240/224 at 120hz BFI on Retroarch. I eventually sold it because I thought it looked way too sharp compared to a consumer TV. I kinda wish I kept it though for old school PC games like Rogue Squadron 3d and the PC port of sonic adventure. 480p on a CRT is something that needs to be seen to believe.

[@Ustaleone]

Which monitor did you have? I kinda like the sharp look.

[@Bun74]

I love the picture quality of the JVC, but It is so sad that a 27- 29 inches doesn't exist by this JVC

[@Horeteppe]

Got one of these last year, my first and only pro-monitor..and the image is crisp af! Love it and I will treasure it forever!

[@sadderthanyou7793]

The convergence on that JVC PVM is insane. I now want to throw away all the CRTs I have because none of them comes even close.

[@0mnis14sh]

I've run into 480i being too sharp on some screens and found that the dreaded "blending" filter on some games is actually very effective at giving a sharp yet stable picture. Another factor is the focus adjustment on the flyback. Not usually convenient but you can definitely make a screen more suited to unfiltered 480i by backing off the focus a touch.

I loved my JVC BM-H1900SU, the picture was amazing! Was worth selling to get my BVM-20F1U, but highly recommend all JVC pro monitors after having that one 📺😄

[@utterlybrilliant]

I have this exact monitor sitting right next to me. It works fine and all, no issues with geometry or colour etc., but it has a visual issue with what I'm told is 'visual strobing' where an overlay of strobe moves over the screen causing the picture to lose sharpness, but also has a 360 degree strobe. It's very annoying so its just sitting in my study turned off. I went to get it repaired twice. The first people said they couldnt figure out how to fix it, and the second only a few weeks ago told me that that is as clear as this monitor gets and that they fixed the strobe. THEY DIDN'T and still charged a fee anyway. I used to work with this monitor and the quality was amazing. Some of these electronics repair people have no idea what they are talking about :( I hope to get it properly repaired one day....

[@mohamed5824]

Excellent, very, very wonderful. Good luck to you. Thank you very much, my friend

[@Orfax]

I have the TM-H1700G which I love. Mine's been modded to have RGB input via BNC cables. It really is so sharp. I have a MiSTer connected to it, and an Analogue Super NT.

[@voicheci007]

Please make some more videos on this monitor, it’s amazing

[@thackraysherpa]

I dont know about the dt 2000su but i have the tm-h1750cg, dt-v1910cg and an ikegami htm-2070r and the tm-h is still the best for 240p. Nice video keep them coming!

[@sonyx5332]

Any of the JVC capable of 480p?

[@doomisforu]

Nice I have the JVC TM-H150CG it little brother

[@delatroy]

I got the 1750 variant. Great looking

[@crazywiener11]

I've been through a few consumer crt's and broadcast monitors (sony pvm, ikegami). I currently have a JVC TV 21' C-21TX1EK. I agree that the picture is overkill on broadcast monitors on pvm and more so bvm's. Also I prefer the round screen of the jvc as opposed to the flat sony's.

[@10MBorLess]

I have a pelco that has the same dot pitch style. It is supposed to be 800 tvl. It looks awesome

[@agrisimfarming]

I would be careful in the future with the star wars music, it would be terrible if you were to get a copyright strike

[@Richiecandylover]

Beautiful video monitor, shame US&Can didn't get as much native RGB support via scart like we got in UK/Europe, not saying you guys didn't have it, just wasn't as easy without scart, even remember my first digital cable box in 1997/1998 supporting RGB Via scart... also sham that video monitor has some visual issues at the bottom left, I presume it was scratched during shipping?

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Yep, scratched screen. Sucks but it's hardly noticeable overall

[@Richiecandylover]

@@P-0-Seventeen That's good, I'm just a perfectionist where even one dead pixel would irritate me! But I've always been weird! In analogue TV days it would take me forever to find a perfect fuzz free picture, little did I know digital terrestrial would be worse, bitrate is so low

[@saudalhajri310]

Look for jvc dtv 1910 or 1710 …it’s the multi format one , amazing

[@P-0-Seventeen]

They're cool too if I ever come across one but it's not the 2000su, only because they're aperture grilles

[@Cathode_Days]

riddled with issues like poor linearity, 240p jitter and sync problems. Great on paper, not that great in practice.

[@hardcorercchannel3878]

Pls help me out- what’s the sync problem thing if I want to connect a SFC console to it 240p- and is there any input lag / processing

[@jsr734]

By "interlacing" do you mean screen flicker?

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Sort of yeah, though its mainly just being able to see each interlaced frame more clearly since there's little to no overlap of each line being drawn

[@shortstone9292]

Hi there. Just wondering. Are you using a 1 chip super famicon during the first half of this video? Thanks!

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Funny enough yes, it's a super famicom 1chip 02 board swapped into my super nintendo case

[@shortstone9292]

@@P-0-Seventeen ah cool. Was just asking cause I've got one of my own. Annoyingly though, I'm in need of repair cause it just won't switch inputs for channel C, meaning I can't actually get a proper image lol. Really sucks

[@saudalhajri310]

Kindly tell us what dude u use for the broken bezel ?

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Lmao I used the plastic that broke off from it and a soldering iron on low heat to melt it down

[@RetrofIex]

How many CRTs do you currently have in the inventory?

[@P-0-Seventeen]

Too many >:) it was 15 here not long ago but I've been through double that over the past year or two

[@WilliamVentura]

its been awhile but doesnt gamecube also output 480p? i remember having to hold b button to get windwaker on my pc crt back in the day. these days i just dolphin to pc crt and rendering 4:3 1600x1200

[@P-0-Seventeen]

It does for most games normally, but you can also force 480p on some games that don't have the option with Swiss for the Gamecube

[@WilliamVentura]

@@P-0-Seventeen have you tried 480p on the jvc, curious how that looks. not sure if pikmin supports that or not

[@P-0-Seventeen]

@@WilliamVentura 480p doesn't work on either JVC I have, it's only really the HD crt of mine and my Sony GVM

[@cooparchive7857]

​@P-0-Seventeen so is it support it or what??
