Color CRT from the 80s

Launched in the mid-1980s, the 13" Sony KV-1365R television model offered support for both composite video and RF inputs, delivering solid video quality for its time. I found the composite video particularly impressive and opted to pair it with a beta machine, as they complement each other well.

It's worth noting that the KV-1365R operates with a hot chassis setup, meaning the ground isn't isolated on the low voltage side. Consequently, modifying it for RGB input isn't straightforward. However, for numerous television enthusiasts and collectors, the Sony KV-1365R holds a cherished status as a relic of the past. It is best left the way it is.
