Observations on a UPS - follow up to a previous post
I don't really think that convergence has been much of an
issue since slotmasks became the norm many years ago, as these are inherently self converging. LOL! I am holding a service manual for a Sony slot-mask Trinitron monitor featuring 3 pages of instructions on how to accomplish what you call "self-convergence". There is nothing inherently "self-converging" about slot-mask CRTs. The original "delta" gun pattern required a fairly elaborate convergence process. In the early '60s, GE introduced an "in-line" gun arrangement (the first of its kind, AFAIK) that had less lateral misconvergence than the delta design, and thus a simpler setup. Sometime in the '70s, I think (CMIIW), the precision in-line (PIL) system was introduced. The deflection yokes were deliberately miswound (using a plastic former with ribbing that precisely positioned the wires) to distort the deflection and thus produce correct convergence with minimal adjustments. I'm typing this missive at ViewSonic PerfectFlat A95f monitor that has perfect (and I mean perfect) purity and convergence right to the very corners. The tube is a Diamondtron, Mitsubishi's version of a Trinitron. |

Entropy happens, and so you need to do preventative maintenance. People today forget about doing maintenance, and then they complain when stuff stops working right. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

The monitor is almost 6 years old, and is holding up well. It has not deteriorated in any way I'm aware of. |

Of course it is possible that our eyesight is deteriorating at approx. the same rate and degree as the monitor. :-) |

Every phosphor based display deteriorates from the day it it put into use. If the user compared that 6 year old monitor to a new one he would likely be surprised at the difference. The phosphors and the guns have deteriorated over that time, though convergence and geometry are little effected, intensity and to some degree focus certainly are. Leonard |

Convergence drifts a little... less than it used to, but some. Focus and intensity change. After six years it's time to pop the case and touch things up a little... may even be time for the dreaded CRT Rejuvinator to clean the cathode up. But these days, by the time six years is up, folks are buying a new display anyway... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I don't like the way LCD/flat panel monitors look. The image isn't as sharp I'd have to disagree on this, if there is anything that is a clear win for LCD, it is image sharpness... it doesn't get any sharper than having individual pixel representation. This can be offset in perception if the particular LCD has poor contrast but it is still just as "sharp", though not as vibrant. I wonder if Doc is running his LCD at a non-native resolution... Don't have one, just going by what I've seen on display at various places. I have a 17" CRT monitor that I really like. |

The store demos of video monitors are as poorly set-up as the store demos of microphones and TV sets. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
