H.D. C.R.T. anyone?

Hello! I haven't been around here for about 6 years. I've been over at AK. My daily TV is a Sony KD-34XBR960. I bought it new. It hasn't required service.

When I bought it I did a lot of research. I considered buy a slightly used '960 because of the praise it was receiving, but the circuit failures scared me away. IIRC the 960 was US-made and the 970 was Mexican.

The writing was on the wall regarding the end of the CRT era. I think I was lucky to get it before those days ended. The brief era of CRT HD. My family knows I'm the old radio and tube audio guy in the family. But other people ask why I still have that "small" TV. Most seem to care more for quantity rather than quality.
