This Sony KV-HR36M31 came my way recently. I've been out of the TV game for a while for various reasons, but as this was one of those sets I always wanted back in the day I couldn't turn it down. Luckily it was even dropped off and was waiting for me on a trolley as I couldn't have moved it any other way.
This was the highest end Sony sold in Australia as far as I know. It does up to 1080i over component video, but it has no DVI or HDMI inputs, nor does it have an inbuilt digital tuner. It sold for $4999 back in 2003, so I doubt many were sold.
Finally seeing one in the flesh after all these years, they picture isn't quite as good as I'd hoped. The geometry in particular seems quite a bit out. I recall this being an issue with other 16:9 CRT sets and remember at least some of them having at least some degree of adjustment, but I haven't found anything in the user menus.
Anyone know if there are adjustments in the service menu? or is physically moving the yoke my only option. I guess it could have shifted due to some rough handling.
