Speaking of CRT's in Sanyo TV's, I was once given an LXI branded Sanyo built 20" TV from the late '80's. For the time, it was a nice set with stereo sound and A/V input jacks. The set worked; but, it used a Zenith CRT and unfortunately, the CRT was not in great shape. The emission checked OK; but, during brighter scenes, the picture would go out of focus, the greyscale would change, and there would sometimes be a big blurry band in the middle of the screen. I could run the set with the contrast and brightness turned down; which, helped. However, running it like this produced a dim picture. I eventually sold the set to someone who wanted a cheap TV; but, I think that set would have had an amazing picture, had the CRT been good. Had the CRT been good, I might have kept it.

I also have a mid '80's Sanyo built Sears TV and it's CRT is excellent. I can't remember if the CRT in that set is an RCA or Sylvania (I think it's an RCA).
