Treated myself to this Sony Multiscan E400

Guess I greatly underestimated the deskspace this thing demands…
Probably a lot I could do to improve the image. Will look into WinDAS-calibration, but am fairly new to getting back into CRTs. With it being 26 years old, I am sure the overall picture is less flashy than it could be though.
Also pictures were taken middle of the day. A dark room really seems to matter with these things.

Still am pretty happy with it so far. The feeling of motion is really something else, being used to lcds for so long.

Hope it will last me a while.

Oh and the loose power button seems to be a known problem for these models? Have seen it on other pictures. Unfortunate, since i really like the design of the front. But it doesnt impact the functionality and I even got the missing part from the original owner if i ever want to repair it.

Is this burn in?

Hello everyone.

I found this exotic fella for sale fairly close by.
I messaged the seller, who is convinced the screen has no issues whatsoever.
Yet i am pretty sure espacially the right half of the screen seems to be in bad shape. It looks like the static burned into the screen.
I whould love to use this set for a retro-gaming setup, but it is not worth to me driving there, if it is obvious from the pictures that the screen has severe burn in.
Can anybody with more experience in CRTs give a more educated evaluation here?
Thanks in advance.
