BVM day has arrived! The catch was a D14H1E with a BKM-11R remote control. I am excited to finally get my hands on a BVM. More pics below. #Sony #CRT

Looks like I got lucky with this one, it only has 3690h of use. 😌 Here is some 480p action. Pictures don't really do it justice. Not my pictures at least. #RETROGAMING #LegendofZelda #FZero

How cool is this? #PlayStation3 games kicking ass on a CRT. #Okami HD #FinalFantasy XIII #CRT

As it turns out, if your D14 only has the 16:9 mask you can at least remove the fascia if you want to use it in 4:3 mode and see the whole screen. #RETROGAMING #CRT #LegendOfZelda

Just tried out #LegendofZelda Wind Waker HD for the #WiiU at 1080i on my BVM. I apologise for the rubbish pictures, believe you me when I say this is drop dead gorgeous. 🥲#Sony #CRT #BVM

This is so much more glorious than I expected! 🥲 If you have the means to, do try to run TotK in a #CRT. It's stunning! #LegendofZelda #TearsOfTheKingdom

(1/2) Having some fun with my recently acquired BKM-127W. Trying out composite and S-video on my BVM-D14H1E. First up composite with #Castlevania on the #Famicom and #SuperMario in the #N64. #RETROGAMING #CRT #Sony #BVM

(2/2) Now for some S-video #StreetFighter action on the #3DO in 240p as my FZ-1 has the built-in mode toggle.

(1/3) Installing a cap kit on a BVM-D14H1E. This was a full day project. 🥵 Pics show board pre and post capacitor replacement. Also BVM dissambled and re-assembled. Everything cleaned, anode cap lubed. More pics in the rest of the thread. #Sony #CRT #BVM #restoration

Finally some scanline goodness for you to feast upon. Castlevania Bloodlines in 800TVL glory. #RETROGAMING #CRT #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #Castlevania

Finally! 🥲 Took a lot of patience and searching but, I managed to get an Extron RGB 109xi, in Europe, for less than 8€. This fixes the sync issues with Dreamcast at 480p on my BVM-D14H1E. Now I can use @jeffqchen's VGA dongle as god intended. #RETROGAMING #CRT #Sega #Dreamcast

Because it's not Halloween until you've seen The Nightmare Before Christmas. I figured I'd also run it through my BVM. #movienight #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas #CRT #Sony

Picked Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider by @JoyMasher and I really like it. Beautiful artwork, catchy tunes and great mechanics. ATM I kind of suck at it but I'm having a blast. #NintendoSwitch #gaming

Also played a bit through my BVM, here are some pics if you want to see some scanlines (aside from the simulated ones you can toggle in the options menu). #CRT #NintendoSwitch #gaming
