When you want to hook it up a PC try 540p, the TV can't distinguish it from 1080i and it is better than 480p and way better than 1080i.

I agree, that is how my Mitsubishi CRT is set up from my lumagen.

Okay, I cannot get the hang of the service menu on this TV, it is nothing like the Sony RPTVs or like a CRT PJ I am familiar with for that matter. The menu is complicated, and unlogical....

I dont suppose someone could tell me once Im in the service menu, how I can adjust overscan, alignment, and convergence. I want to center the image, converge all colors, adjust linearity, and size thats all, everything else is in excellent order as far as colors brightness etc...

The service manual is completely useless for this, I cannot understand it Shocked

I'm selling it for just $85
unless someone can tell me what to do about it.

I watch tv for a good 45 minutes and then the screen blanks out after a pop noise. Any recommendations?

Clintrad4 - This sounds like the typical soldering problem everyone was having with these TVs. This happened to my PRO-520 about 4 years ago. If you google something like "pioneer elite pro-620 soldering problem" you should find more detailed info. I had a service tech come out and resolder and clean the lenses for about $100. I think there's a well known Pioneer Elite PRO tv guy that does calibrations and will even resolder the board and guarantee it for life if you send it to him. If you're interested, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up his name.
