Tom: I just checked that out, the grey scale tracking is dead on, and the pic has excellent sharpness even though that control is set at half, so I guess the CRT is fine. The Sony pic doesn't flash and the colors look good, but the focus is poor with the sharpness set at max, so I don't know what's going on there.

Bob: Lots of white trash here too.

OK , I believe blue is the norm for the DVD OSD since its all I have
seen. So I have to assume both the RCA & Sony are a little "off"
in the same way if the pix is normal otherwise.
The Sony focus is usually on the FBT or sometimes CRT socket.
Adj. for the sharpest most distinct scan lines ( times have changed !).
Dont confuse it with the H-stat or G-2 controls.
The sharpness works on the video stage. Most imperfections
are "noise" which are high freq. Turning it down stops the noise
from getting to the final pix but you lose detail. . Average setting is 1/2 - 2/3.If you have a perfect OFF AIR NTSC signal you can run it full &
get maximum detail.

Yes white trash in NH too ! But I would rather rub elbows with them
than the "beautiful people" in the 4000 sq ft houses.

Haha, me too. The former is the kind I grew up with and don't see much of in my current area. One thing I miss is their cars that weren't much quieter than Ace Ventura's Monte Carlo.

Long day today, too wiped to mess with my sets, will get into that Sony issue soon.
