Sony KLVS32A10

Thats a keeper. I have a Sony 32" about the same year. Not
having a HD tuner was probably for a price step. Several different
spec displays were available also. Mine has does have the HD tuner.
Anyhows the CCFL was more reliable & a more natural pix IMHO.
AND that is a real Sony made in Japan. Not Chi-Com junk.

Correct, CCFL back lighting was good for a minimum of 80K hours, and I've seen them go over 100K (some older TVs keep run time in the serv menu).

LEDs certainly could be made to last as long but the manufacturers use too few LEDS and drive the few they do use way too hard.

Speaking of Chi-com junk, they were selling a set in Cuba that only had a plastic cabinet that was badged "Sony", but the set wasn't made by Sony!
Evidently, The firm bought left over cabinets and installed their own CRT's and chassis.
No honor among thieves!
