WaitsUp: Sep 19, 2005; I used to be a deli sandwich

Getting a PVM-2530 that's been sitting around at work. It works, has good colour and no ghosting. Anything else I should know?

You need this to put RGB SCART on it: https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/sony-pvm-scart-converter?search=pvm

It has no speakers, but it has speaker cable output. The official speaker model that attaches to the sides and folds in is APM-X5A, but all you can really do is keep an ebay watch and be patient if you want those (I like mine a lot FYI)

Easier/cheaper method maybe: each RCA audio input also has RCA output.

Adjust geometry and stuff with the 240p Test Suite ROM. You have to open the case and adjust the pots. Warning that all RGB input is shifted to the right, so if you adjust your pots for that, all of your composite inputs will be shifted too far left.

Thanks!

Actually had two working speakers with brackets attached to each side.

Good notes about the geometry.

Now just have to find a stand that can take the 120lbs of this monitor!

Used to watch Top 10 all the time, the prizes were never great, and you never saw much game footage, but man was it addictive.
