I've seen a few bottom end off brand sets with recycled CRTs in them (I may have posted about them when I first found them, but I can't think what search for). Though nothing bigger than a 21" and only the 14" sets had PC monitor CRTs. The ones with the used 21" TV CRTs in them were always awful. Those with the monitor CRTs produced a surprisingly good picture in spite of their awful chassis. In hindsight perhaps I should have saved one of them.
They were always the worst of the worst build quality wise as you'd imagine. Misaligned/missing jacks, hideous chrome trim, 1 tiny speaker behind oversized grills for 2. Even these bottom of the range sets had at least 1 AV input, usually 2. I can't imagine anyone selling a set in 2000+ with only an RF input. Even the more recent of those $10 5" B&W sets had a AV input.
Did sets with only RF in really survive past the 90s?
