Ok so... Can somebody fab some programmer switches? For 128-SEs too!

"SVGA" is technically only 800x600.  If they are literally SVGA monitors then 800x600 is the highest res they are designed for. 1024x768 is "XGA."  Seems like they would advertise themselves as such if they were capable. My (not at all comprehensive) testing couldn't get it to display more...

Still works like a champ. The main difference I observe between its tube and a vintage Mac tube is the tube itself is a lighter gray than a stock Mac.  This could contribute to the bluer look mentioned above.  Sitting next to a stock Mac Classic, neither powered-up, you can pick out the new tube...

If the analog board, and CRT, and power supply are all functional, then any logic board from the Color Classic, CCII, LC520, LC550, or LC575 will work in your busted MacTV logic board's place.  Obviously, it will have no TV capabilities any more. An LC 575's brain will be a nice CPU/memory...

Any 90s era (black) Apple branded remote will work too. There's a credit-card button-battery style and a bigger AAA-battery style.  There's some argument about which is OEM with the Mac TV, and a decent case that it could've come with either.

I had Tadiran "explode" in an SE/30. I really don't think it's a matter of brand, but time.

Heh. The pics earlier in the thread (with the tube installed in the Classic) are being driven by built-in video of a 475. 800x600@56Hz and it also does 640x480@60Hz I think. We'll see what the 575 will do as soon as a certain cable makes it to its destination :)

I have a different vga->Mac video adaptor that I can try 832x624. Wasn't that @67Hz though? It hasn't liked any resolution at higher than 60Hz yet.

I have a spare NIB Mac mini (mid-2011) that was purchased with the 26 minis deployed in my computer lab/classroom. Unless something evil occurs to one of those 26 in the next two years, it will be retired, unused, and could easily wind up in our basement for a few decades. (Granted, it is only a...

Could be my camera. I'll see if I can get a shot of it next to an actual compact for A-B comparing.

I appreciate your effort keeping this fun forum running. I wish the images from >15 months ago would be a higher priority though. A huge part of what makes this community so valuable is the legacy threads that bring the Google hits, introduce new hobbyists to the forums, and keep the same...

Ha.

Don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight!

Eventually, the idea is to run an 040 (LC x75) logic board completely inside a compact shell with this as the monitor. This setup could probably run a modern Mac mini internally at 800x600. I'd just have to remove the metal frame.

There were video cards with adaptors to output more than 1-bit to compact internal screens. There isn't much difference between thousands and millions of colors output-ed to these grayscale monitors, but 256 colors is noticeably less smooth in gradients and photos than either higher setting.

Yes. "Millions" of grays :)

Could it be that they manufactured them all in '93 and had enough stock/poor enough sales to sell them until '94 and '95?

Pics. The monitor looked great in person at 640x480@59Hz, but my camera made it dim. Looked great at 800x600@60Hz too. When I took the case off this was the tube inside: I haven't checked the tube's pins to see if they match a compact Mac's.  I hate to mess with yokes; everything...

Got it today. Haven't had time to decase it yet, but it is certainly very similar to a stock Mac compact tube from the front. Nice sharp bright little monitor. It looks good at 800x600@60, better at 640x480@60, best at 640x480@59. The stock video on the dell 760 I was testing it with had the...
