That's an odd one!
I wonder what the size limit was on the Lollypop CRT's as used in the Sony Watchmans?
I suppose like any CRT the flat face would have to get exponentially thicker to withstand the pressure on it and it would weigh 200 lbs at 36 inches, it probably wouldn't be all that flat at that size either.

The GE sets mentioned above were probably their Slimline models, they used a 110 or 114 degree CRT, conventional tube but quite thin for the time.

I don't know what the max size was on those lolipop CRTs, but I've seen an 8" one at the ETF.

Cool! I have never seen one larger than about 4" in the little S0ny walkman tvs, but possibly they made a larger version for a monitor or something... anybody got a pix of one?

Found a nice wall mount today at the Thrift and now I have it set up in my room!

Not bad, less than $100 for a nice HDTV and an Oppo DVD player.
I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a good Bluray player, I have an extra one but it's old and sooo slow to load I don't want to mess with it.

It's mounted a little high but space is limited in my room and I didn't want to be banging my face into it when I walk in the door.

I bought a 32'' Samsung LCD TV 2 years ago and it still works great, knock on wood. I have put it on a TV stand in my bedroom.

Maybe I was lucky that my set turned out to be good. But I'd say that it has very good quality. Actually, I would say that it is overengineered.

Scoring that set for $50 is a steal. It is a great deal!
