PVM 2130QM Get! And calibrated.

Just recently acquired my second 21" PVM locally in Wellington. It was severely underscanned as the previous owner was a video editor and needed to see the entire image, so I opened the case and made some adjustments. The screen has absolutely no burn ins and was in great condition.

Pretty happy with the result.

  1. Hi Dave,

    sorry for the late reply, I have been slack checking on my blog :p

    And you are right, I am not from Japan...originally from Malaysia, but I have been in NZ since 8 and now I am 37 so pretty much kiwi now I am afraid :D

    I am a father of 2 girls and a 3rd one on her way so there is a way to maintain a hobby and stable family life, just pick your battles carefully.

    I have always been a fan of RGB SCART ever since I hooked my megadrive up to my Amiga 1084s monitor, granted only certain sets support it, but I always search in appliance stores back then for a bigger screen with RGB in...My uncles Phillips Matchline was the pinnacle set I found back in the days.

    I mostly get my sets off trademe, but sometimes forum members offer their sets for sale.

    The best way to join the retrogaming community is either join Boss Level Community on facebook or http://nzretrogamers.freeforums.org/ and meetup with like minded people. I frequent those sites on a daily basis and share what I can find on them too.

    Brick and mortar shops are now a thing of the past (unless you count Under World in Petone?) so most of the time you will be trading with private members. I rarely source things from overseas as the postage to NZ is super expensive.

    Hope that helps!

    Kelvin
