Now this will start a food fight but I was always a bomb tosser so hear goes.
The longest lasting CRT's were Zeniths from the 70's. The longest of
those were in sets with instant on ! ( flat chassis & CC2 ).
So keeping the CRT filament ( only ) warm probable is a plus. It eliminates the
hot / cold cycle, a bad thing in electronics.

Now that’s odd I always thought instant on beat up a crt never shutting off but if stats say otherwise then ok.
