Oddly, it fills the screen whether in 50Hz or 60Hz mode. The regular tuner channels are too high now, but the AV channel is fine. No more borders top and bottom. Great picture too.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322268693983668393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468657130297941727.post-5328201705681697912021-06-08T18:12:28.346+10:002021-06-08T18:12:28.346+10:00There is a button that seems to change from widesc...There is a button that seems to change from widescreen to fullscreen, but when I press it the image rolls like I'm putting a 60Hz image to a 50Hz-only TV, but it runs fine at 60Hz in widescreen mode. I thought it might be the SCART lead sending the TV to widescreen mode, but I tried a Dreamcast with composite and the TV behaved the same way.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322268693983668393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468657130297941727.post-66390076483646586732021-06-08T12:39:03.958+10:002021-06-08T12:39:03.958+10:00So long ago that I can't remember!

Best to leave for about a week in a warm place to really dry them out properly. It seems that moisture gets caught in the flyback and takes longer to fully dry out.Paradroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090815825196657387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468657130297941727.post-33797725886797738222016-04-06T14:38:58.755+10:002016-04-06T14:38:58.755+10:00Great job!
