 Monitor Repairs.....are they worth a look?
With the advent of LCD screens replacing the "old" CRT types, the repair and service of monitors has declined to such a degree that it has almost ceased to be. I get regular calls asking me if it is worth looking at their LCD monitor. My answer is always that it's worth a look. However even I have to admit that at the cheaper end of the market it would be easier and more logical to replace rather than repair.......BUT what about specialist areas like graphic design and CAD work? Any designer worth their salt would be either using high end LCDs or still using a high quality CRT monitor for mainly colour work as CRTs are still almost unmatched in this area(IMHO!). So why use me to get your monitor repaired? A few years ago I made the decision to invest in the area of monitor repairs. My workshop has since been decked out with the best test equipment for this very purpose, mainly Sencore equipment imported for the USA(Thanks guys!!).  First of all we have the Sencore Computer Monitor Analyser CM2125 which has almost endless capabilites with regard to monitor repair. A full spec sheet can be seen here. Then we have one of workshop mainstays, the Sencore LC103 Capacitance and Inductor analyser which has served me well
and saved me countless hours of ... >> full...

New Auction Site
It's been a year since my last entry. It seems i've been so busy with my main work and trying also to get my web business on the right track. Anyway you may have noticed that I have tagged an Ebay shop onto my site. I have scanned the whole of Ebay and have come up with all that you would need in respect of Home Entertainment bargains.
Please Note that I am NOT responsible for any of the content of this site. It is purely there to help you grab an auction bargain in case you decide not to have a repair done by me or just decide you want something extra.
Thank you again for dropping by and if you feel that you would like to see any other items added to Ebay then just drop me a message and I may just add it for you!!!

Recommendations from other TV shops!!
I must be doing something right!! I want to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues that I know and some that I don't know who have recomended some of my new customers to me. It is a great feeling when people come up to me and say that have heard of me (In a good way of course!!). I can only assume that it is the fact that I carry out a vast majority of the repairs in the house. Whatever the reason.......thanks guys and gals. Drinks are on me!! Just let me know who you are ok?

Back Projection and DLP (Digital Light Projection) screens.
I don't know what is going on, but I have had an influx of back projection and DLP screen repairs in the past 4 months. Although these rather large screens take up a lot of space, they can give a very nice picture once repaired and set up correctly. DLP screens use a different technology to the "old" back projection types and it is fair to say that they give a picture quality as good as if not better than their equivalent LCD and Plasma screens.At the heart of the DLP screen is a motor with a rotating coloured disk. This is called the DLP engine. This differs from the older style of back projection TV that used 3 CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) lamps that projected on to the back of the lenticular(screen). The main disadvantage of these screens were that they ran very hot and were very suceptable to poor convergence(colour separation) and resolution.
So if you have the space and don't want to take a trip down the dump in your neighbours "white van" then get it repaired and enjoy almost being at the cinema!!!
