Sony PVM 14M4U Restoration Walkthrough
Channel: Retro Tech
Date: 23/09/2019

Hey everyone.  This is the general process I go through with every Sony PVM or other monitor that I restore.  This monitor is a Sony PVM 14M4U that I purchased on eBay.  Thankfully the Trinitron CRT survived shipping.  I replace all the Electrolytic Capacitors on the Power Supply and about 20 of the most vital Electrolytic Capacitors on the main "A Board" which control geometry.  

After the PVM is re-assembled, I calibrate the monitor by reseating the yoke and calibrating geometry.  Both of these processes are demonstrated in their own videos.  Then the monitor got one final cleaning and lots of testing.   But the question still remains, is 800 TV Lines worth the upgrade?  (Spoiler - Yes it is.)
