 Alright so we've finally come to the end here of our 20L5 Restoration Project and before this you know we've gotten inside of it. We've also done some repairs and some future proofing by replacing some vital components and capacitors inside the monitor and today we're just going to run through some of the calibration stuff as well as look at some settings that you can do that we have not covered in the past. So look I have gone through and done an entire calibration video on this monitor a little bit over a year ago but we're going to go through that a little bit more today but if I miss anything in this video go back and check that other video I'll leave a tag for it and that way you can make sure you know exactly what you're looking at if you're looking at a calibration issue on this monitor and again that will be also added to the playlist for this. So I wanted to do something unique and show you something maybe a little bit different and I hope you can see this now this is the back of this PVM and we're going to look specifically at the yoke. Now obviously it's been cleaned up and put back together and now we're going to go in here and we're going to check out some of these convergent settings on the back of the PVM. I'm taking a bird's-eye view here and I hope my picture isn't blocking at all but what I'm looking at are these inputs right here. This one says YCH, YBH and TLV and those are just different but there's potentiometers in that hole and you spin a screwdriver that fits down in there and I've got the screen pulled up here to show you the top of the screen but what you're going to do is as you turn those potentiometers you're going to just want to take a look at your convergence across your entire screen of your monitor. So you'll want to stick a screwdriver there just turn it a little bit see what the reaction is but this is going to help you clear up some of the vertical convergence rather than going in and manipulating those rings that we've done before I'll link to the video if you need to use the rings to adjust but if you just need to make a simple adjustment or if you want to not mess with the rings that's what these potentiometers are in here for. Now there's a lot more information for you in the manual on the exact specifics of what's going on here but for them to you know sum it up nicely those three potentiometers in the back can help with clearing up convergence on the L5 and you know 14 inch and 20 inch both of those should have this yoke and you'll be able to make those adjustments and that again will help you clear up the convergence at the tops edges of your screen. It's always good to use a you know either a line generator or something that gets you horizontal lines across there so you could see the beams of your electrons and where they're actually hitting your screen. So the rest of this we're going to look at is going to be other calibrations using the service menu. This one is similar to the other service menus where you know you want to have your RGB and everything or whatever you're using the calibrates set up and like the other service menus and other monitors that are not as high tech as this one to get into it. You have to press degauss and enter. So first you press menu on the buttons over here you press menu on this right side of your button on the monitor you're going to press a menu down here and then after your menu is pulled up like it is here then you want to go in and you press just like you do with other monitors. I know my head's in the way you're going to press the degauss button which is on the left hand side as well as the enter button on the right hand side of the monitor menu to press them simultaneously and it will pull up as the menus and you got to make sure the menu is already up so press menu and then enter and degauss at the same time sorry to keep going on that but that's how you pull up your secondary menu where you can do a lot of the calibrations that you really want to do for either geometry and other things like focus you can use in here you can also do your yoke adjustment as far as the tilt of the screen on here which I'm about to show you too. This is the settings though if you go into your deflection settings these are all your settings that you control from this deflection portion of the service menu. You've got a couple for linearity up here too for linearity this trapezoid is that's more of tilt the picture towards you whether the top of the screen is tilting towards you and the bottom's tilted back but that's how you swing that to make that and then you've got a bunch of pin controls and the para control is more like that vertical lean and bow so you got a bunch of stuff like that that you could get in here they did change a little bit on what it's called but that's how you do it and if you go in you can manipulate a setting by using the up and down key first press enter on the setting so you press up and down to pick whichever one of these you want to try to work on and you press enter to go into that mode that specific line item and then once you're in that line item you press up and down on the menu and you manipulate that item make that value go up or down and look with this one you don't have to hit the goss to write you actually hit enter again to write and then it'll take you back out to this menu but if you just hit menu and go back you're gonna leave it in whatever setting it was saved in so if you're you know if you're in there changing don't remember what it is hit menu and go back don't hit enter hit menu and go back and then it will just go back to what it was before you started manipulating it so I know it's a little confusing and I'm sorry to kind of get into it in like a tangent like this but I just want to make sure that you're doing it the right way so if I'm confusing anyway leave me a comment let me know and I'll try to explain it better next time but that's the overall controls and these are you know the settings and I think I go in here and might show you what my final settings are but this these values are going to be different for each you know Mount monitor whatever you're working on you're not going to have the same exact settings like you can't put probably my settings that I have here and actually have it work for you so what I've done here is I'm gonna show you this landing which is actually yoke tilt on this monitor so if you have this L5 and this landing actually isn't a lot of other menu M2s and 4s things like that so but it's really not as precise I mean you're on the other like medical grade and lower in monitors you're moving it maybe a 16th of an inch if you're lucky this one will move it a little bit more and so we go in this is again into that configuration menu and you'll go look for this little toolbox and it'll have landing and this is some of these have two of two so there's a second page and that's where the landing is and if I get in there and I pull back by configuration screen here where I can show you some of this when I adjust this landing how it actually manipulates the screen tilt on here but you increase it goes to the right and you decrease and it goes to the left you could kind of see especially see how my bottom of my screen is I'm gonna get up here and switch the view for you in a second but I wanted to show that's what that is you you know most of those the rest of those aren't gonna matter as much but I'll get in here now and we'll show you what we mean as far as like adjusting this landing a little bit more so again it's that right there so watch me as I move this you know that screen as you go max it starts to tilt to the right it starts to tilt to the left now I know it's harder to see since I've gone in and and evened it out as far as the vertical size of my screen most of the time you'd want to push this screen out a little bit I like to shrink it down so I could see the whole thing in the screen but this one's got a good setting right at 50 so it's gonna be left at that but that's how you could go in and fix your screen tilt from outside this monitor you don't have to get inside of it like you do other ones to actually change that and those are just kind of the things that are different about this monitor so once you get it nicely tightened up you get in there and run some tests and that's what we're gonna do today so for the rest of this I'm gonna actually pull my picture out of there out of here on the the rest of the video and I'm gonna talk you through a little bit of this and I'm gonna let it play because I do have some gameplay and I don't want you to see my picture in the way at all so the today I'm gonna show you my 3DO and this one does not have the RGB mod yet but it does have a 240p switch which I'll go into details a little bit more here the reason I do like to use the 3DO though is it has all the other standard outputs right out in the back like s video and composite in RF right in the back of the actual video game console just want to show this adapter this is kind of a rare adapter I'll go over it maybe a little bit more in the future but it does allow you to plug right into a 3DO and use super Nintendo controllers which is way better than the 3DO controllers and it also breaks out to where two players can be used on there but here's the little switch and this is a little switch that lets you switch between 240p and 480i the 3DO pretty much started with just 480i resolutions and that's what we're gonna start with is the 480i and so it has to be in 480i mode for it to turn on and work but once it's on you can use that switch and switch over between 480i and 240p and I'll show you that in some gameplay here in a second so it's really good to test things that are in you know composite as well as s video because you can test it both those inputs and you can test 240p and 480i the game in there is one of Kirk Cameron's finest performances and it's known as the Horde so if you're um if you own a 3DO I definitely recommend checking that game out so first off this is obviously 480i resolution here on the screen I'll show you it's it's literally really blurry and doesn't just doesn't look as good it doesn't look terrible but 240p looks a hundred times better and what I'll do is I'll go over now to the console and I'll just enact the switch there and sometimes it takes a couple flicks but once it's engaged you definitely see the difference on 240p how it gives you the nice scan line feature and I think it looks a lot better than 480i this is obviously very close and this game doesn't you know have the best amazing most amazing graphics but it is a lot of fun and it definitely is helped by the 240p you're not getting any screen flicker anymore but that's kind of the 480i and 240p tests I like to run is I like to check both those out see how the screen works on those and then you know the rest of the video today I'm also gonna take and show you some other inputs here I'm gonna go through we've done the RGB and we've also done this one has shown both composite and S video you don't see too much of a difference this video does look quite a bit sharper on here there's S video with the 240p switch engaged again right there so that's that's that's how it looks so we're gonna go through now and take a look at some other consoles it's gonna be a PlayStation rest of this video we're gonna go through now I'm gonna show you 240p and component we'll move up to 480i and then we'll also move to 480p but that's pretty much gonna do it for my talking part let me know if you have any questions or comments below I thank you guys for watching and I'll see you next time with more retro content
