What is the result of purchasing a 'CRT monitor control board' on AliExpress and incorporating it into a CRT monitor?



With the transition to terrestrial digital broadcasting, CRT monitors rapidly disappeared from homes. However, CRT monitors have the advantage of ``less delay'' and

have gained support from some enthusiasts even at the time of writing the article. Adrian Black, a hardware enthusiast, has published a record of purchasing and using a CRT monitor control board sold on AliExpress.

Mr. Black got a CRT monitor control board.



The control board obtained by Mr. Black was sold on AliExpress and is

available for 7972 yen at the time of writing the article.



The outer box looks like this.



On the side of the box, the manufacturer name '

Guangzhou City Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. ' is written.



I looked up Guangzhou City Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. on the Internet and found that it is a manufacturer that manufactures liquid crystal televisions and antenna cables in addition to CRT monitor control boards.



The box contains a board and a remote control.



Remove the control board of the CRT monitor you have and install the control board purchased on AliExpress.



When the power was turned on, an image was displayed on the CRT monitor.



From the setting screen of the control board, it is possible to adjust the aspect ratio of the output image according to the monitor.



I was able to output RF from the 8-bit computer '

Commodore 64 ' and display the image without any problems.



It also has a calendar display function and a function that allows you to play a puzzle game similar to '

Sokoban '.




In addition, it is also possible to switch between PAL and NTSC formats.



Mr. Black publishes the circuit diagram and setting screen of the purchased CRT monitor control board at the following link.
