My parents bought a brand new 1974 RCA mural tv when they got married. Then in 1981, they bought a brand new 25" rca colortrak with pushbutton channel entry console. Since that was a big purchase, a free 13" b/w rca portable was a throw in to the deal. That little set got lots of atari use. All those rcas still work like brand new today, we still have them. However, we did have a zenith allegro "wedge" system that my dad bought back in 1975, and that was our basment sound system for years. In 1985 mom and dad bought a magnavox side loader VHS. In 1990 my dad got one of those little 5" kitchen color tvs for my mom for christmas.
My brother bought my parents a dvd back in 1999 and it forced them to get a "better" tv so the got a 52" mitsubishi projection which is the everyday watcher for them today.

Luckily, we still have ALL of our oldie electronic equipment from the past. My parents never really got into the electronic thing, it was more or less whatever worked/looked good for the money. But I would say they were RCA people as we never had to do a big repair to the rca colortrac. We always loved watching that set and remember countless times how they would compliment how good the picture looked as the tv aged. I put a new on off volume pot in it back in 1996, thats it. Still has the bright sharp picture like it always had
