I heared that "Sony" <<Trinitron>> picture tubes had problems in the '80's. But in the '90's they where good. I've seen some 1990-1994 "Sony" tv's still in use.
I think "Hitachi" made good pictures tube too. I have an "Hitachi" tv made in september of 1988, the picture tube is weak, but still working.

The Philips 20AX Inline CRT made from 1974 to about 1980 is one of the best color CRTs ever made,
I once had some old scrapped railway station monitors fitted with 20AX CRTs, they worked 24/7 for 25+ years, the screens were horribly burnt by the static characters yet the guns still had plenty of emissions left.
Trinitrons CRTs are rarely durable, i've seen many weak trinitrons from any decade, the only ones that seems to hold up pretty good are the small early 70s ones.
Early 80s Hitachis were the worst crap of their days IMHO!!
