So, I was looking for a replacement 25" for my WG 25K7000. I saw Billabs website and they offer a 19" 24.8" (wierd size..) and a 27" CRT. Now I know that CRT size is measured by display size, not actual tube size and measured diagonally. So I figured their 24.8" would be just fine. Seems pretty close to 25" to me. Well, I place an order for the BL25C90T and recieve it today. (nicely packaged and shipped by the way) I open it up and this thing looks small!! So I immediatly grab a ruler and measure the display area size diagonally. It measures 22.5 inches! (1st picture) So I measure the whole tube, outside edge to outside edge...at thats 24.8! (2nd picture). What the... I get back on their website to see if I could find a answer. http://www.billabs.com/crts.htm No luck. I then see they offer a 27". My 25" K7000 measures 26.75 corner to corner of the tube. I was thinking that maybe their 27" is measured outside corner to corner? Anyone have a BL27C90T to verify this. My fear is to exchange this with their 27" one and have that one be measured by display size and be to big. They sell a 19" and I would hope that would be picture size measurment, otherwise it would be to small for most applications. Plus, the discription said Curved CRT and its not. Its a VeriFlat as they call it
I'm going to contact them tomorrow, but the person I was dealing with is very Chineese and hard to understand. Im hoping to get a better answer here with someone that might have been in this problem before.
