Best Offer Accepted! Sony PVM L5 Bargain & Repair

Here's a look at a Sony PVM 14L5 Multiformat CRT Monitor that I recently "Best Offered" on eBay. This was one of the best Trinitron CRT monitors ever produced. This video goes over the PVM and we do a quick repair and remove the anti-glare protective layer. Thanks for watching.

Wow, you stole that. I love seeing a simple fix make a huge difference.

I bought a 14L5 in excellent condition about a year ago for $150 bucks. It came from a video production studio and the guy wasn’t aware of the interest in monitors like this being used for retro gaming. I guess those type of deals are few and far between nowadays.

Wow that screen cover safe you some work....those scanlines and contrast are awesome, lucky Steve ;)

I had one of this but one day the image was full of static with no color, even when the color adjustments in the cathode tube worked fine. If the image was too bright the screen would bend/ distort. I don't know what was wrong with it and throw it away. Do you know what was the problem with that? After stumbling with this video I want to get to the truth behind my loved monitor. Thanks and nice video!

Love my little 14L5. Great unit! Still looking for that 20L5 :)

My 14L5 has a small scuff in the screen most likely in the anti glare film. How should I clean the screen with the anti glare film on? Or should I just peel it off?

Nice find, Steve! If you do end up restoring a 20L5 (or comparable 20" multiformat monitor) that you aren't going to hang onto, I'd be willing to pay a generous price! They're getting harder and harder to find. Of course, I'll keep an eye on your YouTube channel as well. 😁

Super awesome video! Was the screen unscratched under the antiglare sheet?
