As much as I HATE to admit it, the picture on my 55" Sony we got last fall is outta this world... The 36" Trinitron died a lingering death, it LIKELY coulda been fixed, but wrasslin' that 275-300 LB beast around was NOT something I wanted to attempt. We paid a little/LOT more for the Sony, but I've NEVER gone wrong w/their stuff, & I just DON'T trust a "Vizio", or some other outfit I never heard of.

Japanese electronic brand names mean nothing to me anymore as they have handed production over to the chinese. Sorta like how modern crapollas have sullied the name of a once great car. The styling of those really started to drop off after the 1984 model year IMHO.

Actually, I like the 1993-1997 corollas. After that it was downhill.

Can't argue with that really. I was thinking when I last posted that their styling was a total loss by the 1998 model year. 1984 and earlier is my preference though.

Yeah, its distinctive screen styling certainly held on for a long time, my 1987 Trinitron uses the 19" version.

Yup, my GoldStar-built sets (1986 and 1991) were dull performers, that was one reason I had for junking them. Didn't have them long. I didn't even save any parts, I just aired the CRTs, bolted the backs back on and tossed 'em. I tried to get the knobs off the '86 but they wouldn't budge. Probably glued on at the factory.
