Let me tell you the story of the Hitachi from 1997. It was bnuilt with Zenith guts and a Zenith CRT...
It was bought brand new and it's lived in the same house since it was first brought home from the store.
Time went by... day in, day out, year in, year out. Every day it turned on and displayed the news, or whatever was on whichever channel it was set to. Eventually the corners of the picture became "fuzzy". This worsened as the dynamic convergence slowly got worse.
More years ticked by... By 2006, the picture had a greenish tint to it, was dim, and the image had bad color bleeding. Shortly after, it was retired from daily use.
