That is kinda cool, though I doubt it's built as well as a real retro TV...

Ahhhhh...Close, going in the right direction, but LG stuff is generally crap.

$216 for a "retro" 14" tv? It better be ATSC ready...

LG is probably still a cut above this "Retro" TV:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Retrovision-Astr...item439db2fa0d I would bet this is similar in quality those "Crosley" Record Players you see all over the place, or those 5" Chinese "Jellybeans" I've been collecting. |

I'd gladly pay that for almost any real retro tv before I'd spend it on this one..
It does look kinda cool though...and yes it better be ATSC ready.

Interestingly, some of the current 19" or 20" el cheapo Turkish made CRT sets have a pale phosphor screen with a very rounded shape, surrounded by an old-style bezel, and a boxy cabinet that give a pleasant 1960s look to them.
They are serious shit that only lasts a couple of years though, and are absolutely disgusting inside, just a little flimsy chassis with undersized pressed steel heatsinks, a Lithuanian 90-degree CRT that usually starts to go after less than 1000 hours, and a flimsy silver painted plastic cabinet that isn't rigid enough to support the CRT when the back is removed.

Retrovisions use a Taiwanese chassis, IIRC. Cheers,

IIRC, Korea uses a different broadcast modulation method than the 8VSB the ATSC uses in the USA, so don't be tempted to grey market import one!

This shows S Korea using ATSC but I am not sure of the channel assignments;

I sent a note to my LG rep about this thing. I hope he still has a job. Stay tuned.
