Thought the question was about the spec for a basic DVM?
As regards a bargraph being 'visual noise' that's the whole point. It
draws your attention to the direction and rate of change. If you're using
'30 pieces of test equipment' at once, you can't possibly read them all
accurately at any one point in time - so a bargraph sounds to me even more
useful here.

This discussion reminds me of the article on digital voltmeters in
"Electronics World" about 50 years ago.
Back then, they were huge, taking up (if I recall correctly) a 3U or 4U
space. The meter they described was a Non-Linear Systems model. Its ADC was
electromechanical, (!) using a relay-controlled voltage divider on a
highly-accurate voltage source to create successively closer approximations
to the input voltage.
There were no commercial LED displays, of course, so the results were
displayed using incandescent lamps to side-illuminate numbers cut into
polycarbonate blocks! (I don't know why NLS didn't use Nixie tubes.)

Maybe, if you want to be distracted. I was testing modules in
$20,000 to $80,000 (US) telemetry receiving systems. The 'Video
Combiner' module compared the linear 0-5V AGC buss in two receivers, and
was allowed an error of under 1.5 mV.
I wouldn't use any meter with one on my bench, but some techs wanted
them even though they were useless. They also clutter their benches with
piles of other useless crap. Tell me of ANY bargraph that will give
useful indication when the change is in millivolts, where the voltage
being measured is 5 to 15 volts. The bargraph would be 2 volts per
division. The bargraph driver is noisy enough that the display is
unstable at the boundaries, and some are used with an overlap to reduce
flicker. it does this by dithering the reference voltage.

HP made a voltmeter plugin for their 5245L frequency counter. That
was mid '60s vintage.

I think it's rather finer than that. (My Fluke 87 has 51 points.) But no one
(that I know of) makes a DVM with that can display millivolt changes when
the input is hundreds of millivolts.
The purpose of the bargraph is to give the tech an easily interpreted
indication of which way the measurement is tending, without having to
"interpret" the numbers. And it responds much more quickly than the display
can settle.
I have little need for the bargraph display. But it adds little to the cost
of the meter, and it's there when I do.

Interesting. I had an SWTP modular unit, though that was a lot later.
The NLS appeared earlier, I believe. George Kay (as in Kaypro) is given
credit for the first digital voltmeter.

I used meters like a Boonton 9200, a Fluke 8920A and several 4.5
digit or better general purpose DVMs. The signal generators and
frequency counters were all connected to the in house 10 MHz frequency
standard and we had an in house metrology lab.

Well, that one is a well known and documented mod for that amp, so I'm not
too concerned about doing it. However, I take (and somewhat agree with) your
point. Personally, I would prefer to make the fixed grid bias variable
within 'blues to rock' limits, and give him another knob to twiddle with,
but he is adamant that he wants that particular cathode bias mod. I did
offer to make that switchable for him, but he just wants it changing and
leaving at that. You can only advise these people, but in the end, it's his
amp, and if he's prepared to pay the money to have it done at his own risk,
then that's fine by me ...

So is it the fact that the circuit relies to some extent on NFB for correct
symmetrical overdrive operation, that leads you to believe that this might
be upset by operating in a pseudo-triode mode ?

I picked up a flat face Trinitron yesterday for peanuts. I plan to use
this as an arcade game monitor (in a MAME setup) and need RGB and
seperate sync inputs.
From the schem, I see the "jungle" chip has RGB outputs, so I assume I
can insert the color gun signals here. What signal level is it wanting
to see here? .7v? Also, I need to keep the OSD for setup and
adjustments, so will this be the best option?
The schem is here:
http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/36631/sony_KV-21FV10%20%20parte1.html
I can see a good place to tap in H sync (after the seperator), but I
don't see any reference to V sync. I see the output IC, but its a PITA
to trace it back.
Suggestions?

You might find something useful here.

I saw that, but it looks as if he's using the OSD as the input point.

Also, there is another set of RGB inputs on the jungle chip that are
tied to the supply line via caps. Maybe this is where the Euro
versions inject RGB via the scart input?
