Right got my Pentranics Monitor today, only 4 days after ordering really good service. Anyway heres some pics....
Happy with the picture bright and vibrant...
But have notice a strange display problem on the righthand side of the screen, it seems to be 'sqwished'....
Have stripped the cab down and used wet and dry to get a 'key' on the surface and added primer...
Prior to priming i used a heat gun to remove the side art, by the looks of it it has had a fair few coats of paint on before...
I then had to get some plastic primer for the control panel and the monitor housing, as the primer i used for the cabinet wasnt adhering to the plastic.....
