Back in the 70's my dad used to be really into consumer reports, doing lots of research about the best brand to buy. The sets my parents had were a 1975 Zenith Solid State Chromacolor II (wedding present), then a 1985 Panasonic console. (still have the Panasonic and parts from the Zenith). Then in 1993 I went along on the TV shopping trip and we got a Magnavox, can't remember why we picked that one! I really don't think it was the greatest.

When I lived with my parents we also used sets such as RCA
CTC-38, old GE's, etc. as other family sets because I could keep up with the maintenance of them. When I moved away they bought a bunch of new TV's as I wasn't there to fix old ones (still have those old sets, though). They bought a variety of brands such as Toshiba and Sharp for all new sets throughout the house.
