Basics
- 30" (diagonal) widescreen CRT television
- Slim Depth CRT; 1/3 Thinner than Regular Flat CRT
- Connections
- RF Input: 1 Rear
- Auto Sensing Component Inputs (480i/480p/1080i): 2 Rear
- S-Video Inputs: 1 Side, 1 Rear (shared)
- Fixed A/V Monitor Output: 1 Rear
- 4 Composite A/V Inputs: 1 Side, 3 Rear (shared)
Picture fidelity
- Generally good, although adjusting for overscan causes slight distortion (approximately 1cm strip) on right side of screen.
- Video picture excellent in 1080i mode, but when used with LMCE 7.10b3 and a GeForce 6200 graphics card, causes slow response when browsing media.
Pros
- HDMI Input with native 420p, 720p and 1080i
- Simple User menu interface
Cons
- At 120 lbs. not an easy TV to transport. (But that much harder to steal)
- No RS232 port ( Control_A/V_equipment_with_RS232/USB/Ethernet )
- Overscans LMCE input and must be manually adjusted to display properly
- At 720p/1080i KDE Desktop script is nearly impossible to read. (Attempted to manually adjust dpi settings without success.)
Usability
- After initial difficulty with overscan, unit has been quite usable.
- Although I would not recommend this TV as a new purchase for a LMCE display, for those who have one already it is compatible.
Xorg.conf Specs
The following Xorg.conf settings were useful in obtaining a proper display.
Additional Info
As is it not included in the Owner's Manual, I have provided links to the section of the Alignment Manual needed to adjust for the overscan.
