Looking for special TV

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Are there any flat screen TV's that have brightness and contrast knobs on the front?

Knobs? Seriously? I haven't seen a knob on a TV in years/decades. My 1988 Mitsubishi 20" doesn't even have knobs.

lol it's not for in home use (I have a Kuro). It's something I need for other purposes.

I searched but can't find any. I was thinking maybe there would be some non-consumer product out there but haven't seen anything other than CRT's

You won't find any TV with "knobs" on the front, sides or back for brightness/contrast. Hell... you can't even find any with "knobs" for volume or channel selection.

Buy two knobs from Radio Shack - glue them on and then use the remote.

(If you told us the purpose, you might get a more sensible response than this.).

No matter the purpose, I doubt you can buy a flatscreen TV with knobs.

Only Hollywood and porn actresses buy add-on knobs today.

It's use will be in radiology. I was hoping maybe they had some sort of security TV's or something. When CRT's were around they made specific radiology TV's with the knobs for brightness and contrast. Can't seem to find them anymore

You can't find portable radios with vacuum tubes and "A" and "B" batteries nor can you find 8-track tape players either.

Yes you can still find monitors with knobs and buttons on them to control contrast & brightness. They are used in professional studios. A standard LCD computer monitor will have brightness and contrast on it, without having to go through a menu.

In the case of using for radiology, check with the company that you use for your equipment, and they should be able to tell you best choice to use. Most doctor offices are using systems, that they can see the image through the computer network on the LCD screens at each workstation, that has access to the system.

I'm looking for a special tv too. One that will obey me and won't bleed all over the place
