The Biggest CRTs still in use: The Sony XBR Trinitron Tube TV

Retro Tech 12 min Published Jul 2022

About this video

Sony KV-32XBR45 Trinitron servicing starts with a look inside the set, then moves to cleaning, discharging the tube and testing, using a 240p test suite for the display.

Good to know: The tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside the set as well.

Why watch it

A large 2000 Trinitron, one of the biggest CRTs still in use by the maker's account, closes with a Contra 3 demo on the SNES once servicing is done.
