As far as life goes the zenith and rca tubes hold up very well. The majority of those sylvanias test dead and are very dim.
We have an 84 Mitsubishi monitor thats very impressive when it comes to picture quality and life. Its used daily and tests like new still. Not sure who made the crt.

CRT screen was made by Mitsubishi also. Mitsubishi made everything. Mitsubishi was the most reliable TV brand during the early 80s, according to the vintage Consumer Reports. It stopped becoming #1 beginning in 1986, and the new #1 was awarded to Panasonic, which it retained its #1, most reliable rating for 15 consecutive years, until it was dethroned by Sanyo beginning in 2001.
