2001 Sanyo DS27510 -Horozontal Line

Speaking of CRT's in Sanyo TV's, I was once given an LXI branded Sanyo built 20" TV from the late '80's. For the time, it was a nice set with stereo sound and A/V input jacks. The set worked; but, it used a Zenith CRT and unfortunately, the CRT was not in great shape. The emission checked OK; but, during brighter scenes, the picture would go out of focus, the greyscale would change, and there would sometimes be a big blurry band in the middle of the screen. I could run the set with the contrast and brightness turned down; which, helped. However, running it like this produced a dim picture. I eventually sold the set to someone who wanted a cheap TV; but, I think that set would have had an amazing picture, had the CRT been good. Had the CRT been good, I might have kept it.

I also have a mid '80's Sanyo built Sears TV and it's CRT is excellent. I can't remember if the CRT in that set is an RCA or Sylvania (I think it's an RCA).

I do NOT think Sanyo had a "chronic problem" with electrolytic caps--like its did in their sets.

mmmkay. Who are ya refering to in your last phrase?(like its did in their sets)

I only remember a few that wouldnt be fixed by following
the problems pointed out. Thats hundreds of sets......

BTW your set has an RCA CRT the best of that era.

Honestly, im quite happy as well, that it was this simple of a fix. I was expecting to have to get another chip and mabey do some testing, blablabla..
Hmm, good to hear about the CRT. I didn't know that. I don't remember off hand now, but I don't think I saw anywhere on it, as to who made it. Just the date(6/25/01) and some misc info&safety. I thought it was just of Sanyo's own doing. Honestly for the hour's this set has on it, I'd say it's done good. Don't have a clue how long it will last, but I figure it's got around 46-49500 hour's on it. Only issue's are that when side by side(of another tv) the image is slightly darker (on stock setting's), and it's got what I call "red bleed" with certain color's on the screen. It's most noticeable on "The Simpsons" but it doesn't really show up that much.
As a side note, when it comes to the brightness, I think it's close to perfect and the other tv it was compared to has brightness set higher at the factory. When viewing a wide screen program, if a black image comes up, it's exactly the same as the bars on the top and bottom, while on the (brighter) set, the bars are lighter than the black image and it just looks like it throws the look off some. im ramblin' now

I meant to write "MITS" as in mitsubishi. Somehow--the "M" got cut off. I am SURE people here--know what I am referring to
