Live football cropped to 4:3 looks surprisingly good

I usually hate cropping widescreen content to 4:3, but the constant center-focal-point of live sports means you're not really missing much.

Thoughts?

My first post here, I got this CRT from a flea market for around 10 dollars (160k IDR), originally got it to gut it but I got attached to it. out if two options, one broken and one working, I got this one because they’re priced the same

The red gun is weak, makes everything look teal tinted. (Can prolly get used to it though)

makes even warm colors look cold. Unless the red is vivid, it’s going to look washed or not even close to the original color

Trying to ramp up the red drive or bias makes it bloom very hard on brighter images

Whaddya think?

JVC TM-1000PS (10-inch JVC PVM-like monitor, it is very 🥰)

Hii, I found this one in a Turkish Flea market in Ayrinci, Ankara.
So, I always wanted to go to the flea market there, bc I heard it was huge. Bc I live kn Germany, and Germany is a little bit boring place, bc u will mostly find an used not cleaned lunch box for 30 euros, or some plastic scrap, besides a few. Anyways, we went there. I was very locked in, bc oh boy, it was like heaven on earth, everywhere old VHS, DVDs, CDs, M-Cassettes, very old PCs, Militaria, so basically every technology on earth was there. Like it was so full, there were at least 100 aisles, I loved it. It was like an American one😍.
I was going aisle by aisle, and saw many CRTs, they were mostly small 6 inch colour car CRT TVs, actually exactly what I wanted, but I was too curious, so decided to check the whole market out before buying smth. I spotted this beautiful small baby adorable TM-1000PS running, while the BLUE CHECK was one. And I immediately asked the seller how much he wants for it. He said that the lowest price for me would be 2250 TRY, so roughly 43 euros, or like 40-41 dollars ig. It had some very faint burn in, but so faint, that u need to look very closely, and also, u cannot see it when it is on. And as you can see, the front panel saw smth in it’s lifetime , but I see it as a badge, and that it is a loyal one.
After I bought it, I realised, that I do not even live in Turkey 😭. What shall I do with it, I thought. Shall I sell it, or what? But bc I am a little bit stubborn, I made a plan; I will take it with me to the plane. Yes, very dumb idea, but there were not better options. And it is a small one, I thought that, it is doable. Spoiler alert; it was. I took it onto the plane, it went through the security, they only did a 2nd inspection for it, that was it. When I came home, I opened it, to clean it, AND OMFG, it was so nasty, like the chime, and dusty were so thick, that it was like an ecosystem. But no matter what, I cleaned😍. Btw, when I saw it for the 1st time, I thought it was a Sony PVM, but then I saw the JVC logo.

Also, do u think that 43 is a good price? I saw someone selling it for 350 on eBay, but it was also in a much better condition.

What do u think?
