Sharp model 13K-M100 13" BPC color TV from 1998

My grandparents had a 1988(?) vintage Sharp Linytron (a knockoff of the Sony Trinitron perhaps) that the picture was discolored in one corner (looked like someone put a magnet to the screen) and the there was an annoying buzz in the audio that was there no matter what the source was (TV station or VCR) and that TV was bought brand new for them by my uncle, so they hardly ever used it.

But then my grandparents got my great-grandparents (my grandmother's parents) 1980 or so vintage RCA ColorTracK TV which was either a 23" or 25" console TV with a cable compatible tuner (it had a red LED display for the channel readout, a pull-knob for the power/volume control and a 0-9 push-button control panel for direct entry of the channels into the TV Tuner, and that TV had perfect sound and perfect picture compared to the Sharp tv they had and my grandparents used the old RCA TV clear up until they moved out of their old house.

I was never impressed with Sharp TVs and VCRs, I always considered them lower quality products.

I have a 14" Sharp Aquos LCD set. The picture is amazing and sound quality is great, considering it's a small screen set.
A good old thrift store find! I understand, it was a pricey set when new.
