Here in California, it seemed in the mid to later 80's that if you owned a Trinitron, you were high class. I know it seems odd but that's the way it was. I would say 1985 ish?
I've always had love for my RCA's and Zenith's.. Guess it's the midwest kid in me, being from Michigan.

You're probably a bit young to remember the Sony commercials that implied they "were" high class sets. One had an athlete showing off his crib, saying "This is where I keep my World Series trophy, my Golden Glove award, and.......this is where I keep my Sony"

They had a few like that, depending on what program they were associated with. We had a 19" Sony at the time (with the tuner below the CRT), and I remember my brother thinking we were S**T hot for having it.
