That's why I'm keeping my RCA CRT TV. That set is now 14 years old and has had no problems to date (except for an RF connector snapping off the tuner PC board the first year I owned it). I also have a 19-year-old Zenith color set that still works amazingly well.

BTW, I have heard and read about the problems plasma televisions have, but I did not know until now that plasma sets are almost extinct. You are correct in that plamas have many problems, such as image burn-in, very high energy usage, etc. It is probably just as well that this type of TV is becoming scarce; they may work well and produce excellent pictures when they are new, but once they get a few years on them the problems begin. Some plasmas are trouble right out of the box.
