Televisions

We still have practical stocks of now vanishingly rare CRT type (tube) TVs. Please note that any patterning & dark bars showing on the screens in the photographs is not really there & is due to interraction between the screen refresh rate & the camera shutter speed used. 

All of our boxy CRT type TVs are now running way past their design lives. They could suddenly stop working if a single over-stressed or tired component inside fails. This can & does happen! We do our reasonable best to maintain our TVs short of completely re-engineering them but if a dead TV on set is likely to cause major problems to you - cast & crew standing idle etc - then you should seriously consider hiring a reserve TV set.

By default the screens of CRT type monitors are likely to flicker or show roll bars when filmed unless special measures are taken. You REALLY need a Director Of Photography who is aware of the technicalities involved if you don't want to waste time & footage both on set & in post production. 

Please be aware that there are up to a dozen or so different video signal formats & connectors in use today. Do not therefore assume that you can simply connect any of our monitors or TVs to any modern laptop or other signal source. Special converters or adaptors may be needed which we may or may not have or which possibly don't exist. We can usually advise provided we have clear details of what your signal source & its connector is.
