Notes

This set is essentially a multisync presentation monitor. It natively displays 240p/480i over the standard inputs; over VGA it can display 480p/960i, 600p/1200i, and 1280x1080i.

The picture tube is a special design made exclusively by RCA in the United States. It has a much finer dot pitch compared to other tubes of it's time, as well as invar shadow mask and dual focus support. This same tube was featured in other sets by Hitachi, as well as some arcade chassis. Simply incredible!

Reds are pushed pretty hard, but a turning the color saturation down in the standard menu should counteract it. After that, performing a white balance in the service menu should get it looking more accurate.
