Summary

Basic 9" color monitor from JVC, with a single composite video input and no speakers. It is the predecessor to the JVC TM-A9UCV, and was popular for CCTV applications.

Two other variants were produced. The TM-9U(A) also included a mono speaker and an audio input. The TM-91SU added a 7-pin JVC style Y/C jack and a VTR input.

As with many of JVC's monitors, this model was often rebranded for sale by other vendors. For instance, the monitor in these photos was sold by Sensormatic (a security systems company).

Notes

This series of JVC monitors uses a 9" viewable tube from Hitachi with a 76 degree deflection angle. Later models used 90 degree Panasonic & Chunghwa tubes that are not compatible.

It has been speculated that the JVC TM series uses some prefix and suffix letters to denote what features the monitor has:

• A ??
• H indicates monitor has a high-TVL M-class tube. For JVC this usually means > 750 TVL Chunghwa tubes.
• C indicates the monitor has one or more option card slots on the back for input expansion.
• G indicates global signal compatibility, which simply means the monitor supports both NTSC and PAL formats, as well as 120/240 volt AC input.
• SU indicates the monitor has multiple additional features for video production such as external sync input, support for 16:9 mode, underscan, blue only, and other front panel toggles. In some cases all of these features are present on the monitor while in other cases only one or two.
• CV may abbreviate "Color Video". Generally indicates the monitor is designed for CCTV applications (24/7 operation).
