They had a "tude".. Then towards the late 80's they started shipping out crap, and rolled with it because they were SONY. I look for older Trintrons, but have discovered that it's "good luck" finding a decent tube on one.

Ha, I think zeno beat you to that one actually. I'm not a fan of Fonys either, and I started with one from 1987. Don't know if the CRT was weak or if there was something wrong with the video stage, but I couldn't be bothered to find out so I junked it. The remote was badly worn which was a good indicator of heavy use. Couldn't unlock locked-out channels without that remote. I never liked the "must use OEM semiconductors" thing.
