New TV!!

29" Pensonic CRT color TV.

Here goes. Call from mom: I won a 29" TV! Wuu.. Really? Its apparently won at Holiday Villa Subang staff party. So the next day she went and took it cos on that day she went back early during the staff party. So its home..


Installed by me...


Impression #1: Its kinda blurry. Wayyyyyy worse than my 21" Phillips. Worse than any other 29" TV i saw. Even the colors looks unnatural... Nvm.. Small issues...


Hmm.. The remote control din work.. Opened it up.. And the capacitor was touching the resistor! O.o

Fixed that. It worked. Set the channels. Then the TV started getting dimmer till the picture eventually disappeared.. Whack it and it comes on again..

So call the Pensonic guy, he changed the IC and it worked! Until...

Let the pictures speak...

Normal mode. Notice anything? (Hint: Look at the top). (Click pic for bigger pic)


Zoom (tele) mode. Uh-huh... (Click pic for bigger pic)


Wide mode. Nope, the distortion is not from my camera. (at least not 98% of it) (Click pic for bigger pic)


One more. Chipsmore anyone? (Click pic for bigger pic)


Advice: Whatever U do, DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY ON PENSONIC! Get Panasonic instead (the original). Or ANYTHING else. =)
