As far as quality goes...Sony was...and IS ... all hype. The trinitron tube saved the company--and gave them something to brag about for nearly 40 years. The story goes that they had lost so much money trying to perfect the chromatron..they were near bankruptcy. Had the trinitron failed....Sony would be a distant memory, instead of a "world class" conglomerate. And it DID have an excellent picture. They just do NOT last all that long.
