I have one of these from a animation studio that was recycling their old equipment and picked it up for free as they had to pay to dispose of it. The Fw900 was honestly in mint condition and well cared for. The color of yours with purple on the back is the same as mine being different from the top housing. I do feel beyond lucky to just know a person who knew I liked "old tvs" at the right time and place.

20 years ago I picked up 4 of these from a company that went under, $150 each with the BNC to DVI cables included.

Thanks from The Netherlands! Triniton Rules!

I have kept two FW-900s I had gotten in the late 2000s in hopes to find someone able to repair/restore them one day. That's how I found this channel by referral, since no one was willing nor able. I hope to be in contact sometime down the road.

That’s an incredible Sony right there. Really unfortunate no shops close that sells CRTs refurbished or not in my area. Ah well can enjoy these vids nonetheless

Very interesting! I have 5 of these and need to adjust them soon. I will look here again if I sneed advice 😊

I hade one of these, wow that thing was heavy! Awesome sound and picture!

if money were no object, I'd have two of these

Congratulations for your new headquarter 👍

Amazing video as always. Mine is running great today, but I know it’s inevitably going to need some repairs. I know who I’ll be sending it to!

I always wanted to own this unit Steve. I mean, I was so close to own one that I regret not doing so. Still wish I do bro. Now I have to make it my business to do so. 8^) Anthony..

I have a Sony E500 that I am working on. I am surprised how similar if not identical it looks to your Sony.

how much does your UPS guy hate you? Mine is kinda passive aggressive to me and I only get 1-2 packages a month (if that)

The slideshow reveals how close the boards look to those on an E500 which I am currently slowly (emphasized) going through.

What do you think of the Laser-powered phosphor displays? LPDs? Supposed to similar to CRTs only they seem to be technology that will still be used and manufactured for the time being?

I own a CPD-G500. I think it’s the best Sony PC monitor I will ever have since the GDM-FW900 is unobtainable to me.

thank you so much for the amazing work . i wish to see how to restore the vivid colors for trinitron pc crt monitor using windas

I want one of these so bad. I have since it came out. I used to have a great Mitsubishi crt. But i got rid of it in a moment of madness.

I wonder if Artemio would be up for releasing a PC version (Windows/Linux/MAC) of his test suite, along with the higher resolutions for CRT PCM's up to 2048x1556p, and perhaps even some new stuff for OLED monitors for those of us wo like to use them for CRT emulation, just a thought.

Got one in my man cave. It's incredible but I don't use it enough.

Great Video Steve! Thank you!

my August 2003 fw900 had the same color mis-match on the back. its like this from the factory

Every time I look for a crt locally on the internet they are always across the country is there any shops locally that re sells them? Like pawn shops?

I always wondered why are computers monitors better at geometry and convergence compared to video monitors or TVs ?

This monitor is literally build to withstand a close range suitcase nuke. The inner shields were like a skeleton.

Cool

Hell yea

I got a storage unit full of these bout to unload to some suckers 😂

I have a Viewsonic E70fb crt and the image shrinks and tilts every now and then so I have to use the buttons on the monitor to tilt back and "stretch" out the image again. Any idea what's causing this and is there any way to fix it?

what game is that at 13:21?

🤘

So what's the deal with the red capacitors? I'm doing a recap on an arcade monitor (streaming the effort the last few nights on my channel) and the board was populated with several of these. Everything is being replaced with Nichicon 105c rated, but still curious what the red ones are all about?

You’re not working too much in the CRT bunker anymore. It’s just used for retro tech storage.

hows your health been lately RT? still same ol same ol or getting better?

grab a quality white eraser and scrub the front pannel for as long as the plastic doesn't change colour, thank me later.

What was wrong with it? I remember when you first got it a few years back and it wouldn’t turn on.

My poor road find CRT is starting to die after a few years. Sharp Linytron 13" (13rv69) Mfd. '89. I know it needs new caps according to reddit. I cant for the life of me find an owners manual or schematics.

Mitsu Diamondtron is superior
