Another great video guys. Btw Linearity test is also very useful on HDTVs and scalers. You can use it to check that the circles are perfectly round (use a tape measure if necessary). Quite often HDTVs squash the Dreamcasts picture in particular and adding a bit of horizontal zoom is necessary for the perfect picture.

Riverhill [Coury] We'll go deeper into it in the CRT, PVM, etc. episode. Like I said to someone else below: The way to adjust this is using the service menu, which is a hidden menu in the TV. Each make has a different way of accessing it. Its a very, very touchy thing though, since you can mess up your TV with it. Its meant for professional repair people. If you do decide to look into this and figure out how to access it, make sure you take note of the values of every entry before you start to tweak, so you can start over if you want. Its very possible to make it worse then not be able to get back to where you started, since there is no factory resets on consumer TVs. Its worth noting though, as the size of the CRT gets bigger, it gets more and more difficult to get it right. Sometimes impossible. My 27 inch Toshiba flat CRT is what I showed to demonstrate it in this video and thats after tons of tweaking. Its one of those things that once you notice it, you'll always notice it, even if its minor. Hard to believe that this issue has always been there, but its been practically invisible to our eyes until we spent a bunch of time on a HDTV. Going back you're like "wait, has it always been like this?" Answer: yes.

Mitsubishi CS-40809. It was so well calibrated in the factory, no real adjustments were needed when I used this suite. Perfect geometry corner to corner, grid, etc.. Literally the only adjustment needed was horizontal position, it was at 20, i put it to 17... that's it. The two blue arrows on the Wii menu should touch the edges of the screen, one was cut off ever so slightly, that fixed it. Colors are perfect, linearity is fine, the grid squares all measure up. You can tell they went the extra mile in calibration when they released these monsters. They had to, for a (priced then) $3500 TV. Now if only I could figure out why there's no sound on one of the speakers.. Couldn't say for sure if both speakers worked when I first found this set, I had only played the NES on it for a long time before moving. On arrival, I decided to dust it out (webs, hair, etc), closed up the chassis and went for SNES and other consoles. Found out only 1 speaker worked. Either a wire is the issue (red and white one inside) or something else.. I hate discharging CRTs this big, I'd hate to have to test/replace an actual speaker and hope it's only the wire.

You should be careful when using CD-Rs in the Dreamcast. The laser assembly in the console is meant to read GD-ROMs (Gigabyte Disc, a format developed specifically for the Dreamcast as an alternative to DVDs). The laser breaks down when trying to read burned CDs, and your console will eventually be unable to read any discs. I am by no means an expert on the Dreamcast laser assembly, but I would believe that there's a difference between using a CD-R as a boot disc (where it reads it for a couple rotations and then you put a GD-R in) and using a CD-R to run a game or program. The application of using 240p Test Suite sounds like it would read the disc a lot, so if you're planning on making the Dreamcast your platform of choice to run the 240p Test Suite on, I would be careful how often you use it.
@Luffym17

From what I understand since its a program made for the mil cd format it would probably be fine. Those issues mainly are from gd rom games being compressed to mil cd and stressing the laser more since the games where never intended to be played though a cd let alone being compressed that much to fit on a cd.

I have an 80" Sharp LC-80LE642 HDTV, and I'm definitely in the camp where the composite/component inputs have significantly less input lag than my HDMI inputs. Utilizing the manual lag option within the test suite, I was getting around a 30-40ms delay on the analog connections whereas it jumped up to 100+ ms on HDMI. Very strange, as you would think a digital connection would reduce lag as there's no analog-to-digital conversion and/or upscaling. At any rate, my classic consoles are all hooked up via S-Video to a CRT Sony Wega KV-32FS100. There's no input lag there and the picture looks great, except for some moderate horizontal linearity issues. Unfortunately, my model doesn't appear to have an "HLIN" setting (or something similar) in the service menu, so I may not be able to fix this outside of getting another TV.

The framemeister creates a noisy color signal on dark blue patterns. Emulator image is superior and 100% clean. It's got tons of other neat features from filters to quicksave. On my 1ms monitor I barely notice any lag at all. Literally the only thing that's better with the framemeister is 100% smooth scrolling which is neat but not neccessary and the SNES accuracy emulator is pretty damn well optimized now. I own the framemeister and I have a few consoles that I modded myself so I know what I'm talking about. If you own a 1ms monitor and have a fast processor - go with emulation all the way. I just like to own these consoles to have an option. Retroarch rules. It's just funny to read how anal people get about the framemeister when nothing you do can compare to a clean emulator image anyways. This is a fact! BUT...I also enjoy the smooth image scrolling that my original consoles gives me. It's nice to have options.

David C I think the problem is that it’s not something that can be done safely. You could adjust a couple of things in a secret service menu but to get to the real issues you’d probably have to adjust the yoke of the tv and that can be extremely dangerous because it carries enough voltage to kill you. Not to mention a plethora of other things that could have gone wrong over a long period of time that the tv was just sitting there or moved around or dropped. To put it simply there’s probably no safe fixing the geometry of a crt :( I imagine that’s why they don’t release a video because they don’t wanna be held responsible for someone potentially dying because they told them what they could do to get a better picture for an old tech that only knowledgeable technicians could do. Which there don’t seem to be any. A shame really :(

The problem I have is my HDTV having too high brightness levels that can't be controlled with my remote. I need to find out why that's happening.

Hi. I need to adjust the geometry of a CRT monitor with VGA adapter that connected to a PC. I don`t have a console like PS1 PS2 etc. Is there a way to run 240p Test Suite without a console?

Hello, I just bought a 34-inch CRT brand Samsung Tantus CL-34Z7HE is HDTV. I notice immediately that it looks better than a crt SD tv, however the image is not very clean, it is noticeable as noise and the edges of the letters have greenish on one side and red as a chromatic aberration. Do you know if it can be fixed with a service and how much would it cost? I really doubt that's it´s definitive image.

Was there ever a video about about TV/CRT geometry adjustments? I can't seem to find it, and I don't think it was covered in the CRT/PVM episode...

[Try4ce] Not yet, we promised this far too long ago. But early this year we actually had the chance to shoot Steve from the channel Retro Tech working on some CRTs, and that will become the geometry episode sometime!

Wait, 720x240? Isn't that twice the resolution of the retro consoles? What does that mean for digital processing on 240p compatible scalers? Is that a bad thing?

+Max Caulfield [Try4ce] 240 is the vertical resolution. The 720 thing is a bit harder to explain, but basically the horizontal resolution is scaleable. 720 is multiplied by 0.9 to shrink to a 4:3 aspect... or multiplied by 1.2 to fill a 16:9 aspect. Modern video uses square pixels, but back in the day, it was all about horizontal stretching to give the proper proportion. 720 without stretching would never result in a correct aspect ratio by itself. It is always intended to be squished or stretched by the display (which scalers would also do). Even though the internal resolution of the system may be something like 320x240, the output conforms to a standard that's 720 wide (but still only 240 tall). This isn't my strongest subject, but hopefully that explains it well enough!

Great video, I am trying to fix the geometry on my flat CRT for my Genesis but I am having trouble. I have the 240p test suite as well and tried to fix the geometry on the TV in its service mode. If you could make a video on the subject it would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

maybe i'm late, but i get strange results testing my LCD. tested composite video. In shadow test on 240p mode i get normal shadow effect on light BG (face and white BG on picture, river and clouds on green hill BG), but on dark BG shadow is interlaced (hair on pic, sky on green hill BG). I'm a bit confused

you know what, anytime I connected my pal nes or pal snes to my hstv set using composite video, there were horizontal strips on screen in many colors.I dit NOT had this problems with the ntsc nes2,av famicom and snes mini.o, and If I used rgb or s-video cable on my pal snes, I see checkerbords onscreen,I alway's tout that it was all due poor scaling,cadence detection and deinterlaing,but it may also had to do it with the fact that those consoles are 240p.I recently solved those problems with the frame meister by setting it into game 1 modus to rid off those horizontal straps and jail bars.speaking about jailbars, I never noticed those jails bars on a curved crt tv but noticed them on a flat crt tv,hahaha lol.I can take rid off those jail bars on a flat crt tv by setting sharpness to zero.

Anyone reading this im going to experiment making some component cables for the genesis as I found some parts recently of what I was looking for to make it happen. Expect a video to come with results and or the 1st prototype in the next month.

Unfortunately, I don't even need this to notice some of the issues my CRT has. I got it at a Goodwill because it was a tube tv (curved screen) for light gun games, and because it has an s-video input. It has two issues, and that's a bit of color bleeding, mostly in the color red, and asymmetry, most easily seen when using the GBA Player on the Gamecube. I eagerly await your video on how to help that, since I don't see anything in that tv's menu to fix it.

ShogunGin0 [Coury] We'll eventually get into that when we cover CRTs and PVMs, etc. The way to adjust this is using the service menu, which is a hidden menu in the TV. Each make has a different way of accessing it. Its a very, very touchy thing though, since you can mess up your TV with it. Its meant for professional repair people. If you do decide to look into this and figure out how to access it, make sure you take note of the values of every entry before you start to tweak, so you can start over if you want. Its very possible to make it worse then not be able to get back to where you started, since there is no factory resets on consumer TVs.

Has the CRT Geometry Episode happened yet? I just scored a nice Sony Trinitron Wega that could use some touching up with the geometry and would like to know how to do it safely.

Hi Thanks again. That's really cool I can't see the flashing if this videos is on 380p, when I switched to 720p 60fps, I saw the flashing on the Ghost in the Shell face. That's cool. By the way could you create a video on why some light guns like the SEGA Saturn Stunner doesn't work with PC CRT Monitor (flat newer ones) yet the Dreamcast light gun works with it. Thank you.

PC CRTs produce a 31 kHz or faster horizontal refresh. Old light guns need 15.7 kHz.
