Notes

The component video quality looks quite good, which is thanks to it's Philips TDA9377 jungle chip. Reds and blues are pushed a bit, so turn down the color saturation to dial it back. While the set sadly has no input for s-video, the chip has been documented to support a modification for that signal.

There are three known picture tube models this set used, a Samsung one, a Philips one, and an RCA one. These picture tube models can be found in many other sets of the time, including arcade chassis.

The 25" screen paired with the clean component signal evokes the look of an early-90s arcade monitor. It is not confirmed, but I believe this set may support 50hz. Someone give it a try to enjoy 15khz arcade titles that display in wonky resolutions and refresh rates!
