Clover C1401 RGB Mod:

The Clover C1401 is a Samsung-Based CCTV PVM that has only been documented by myself and my friend, Noah.

Any information has been posted to the CRT Database was by yours truly.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE CRT DATABASE. (Coming soon…)

This CRT has composite, RF, and S-video inputs on the back. The jungle chip, a Phillips TDA 8841, has support for RGB input, but this CRT doesn't seem to use it at all even on the PCB-side. I still thought it would be possible and I was correct.

As you can see the text is really sharp and the picture quality is great!

The tube now accepts analog RGB with sync on composite, which works out really well. Make sure to install any type of non-momentary switch or button in series with the 5V line going between the micro-controller and the 5V pad on the custom PCB (to turn RGB on or off).

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns over this tube or installing the mod.
