What's the oldest daily watcher anyone had? My oldest living room watcher was a '59 Magnavox 24" B&W combo.

My Toshiba is only a 2005 model. How far back does everyone sit from their sets? Thanks for any info.

My oldest daily watcher is a 1961 Zenith 29JC20 roundy color....When I get my 1955 CTC-4 going right it'll probably get bumped to daily status too.

My bedside TV is a 27" Sony Trinitron with integral digital tuner. It is connected to two attic antennas, one aimed at Toledo and Bowling Green directly into the tuner and the other aimed at Detroit with a pre-amp into a converter box. It is used every morning and often at night.
A 13" "Sansui" in the kitchen is also connected to the Detroit antenna. It is used a little less than the bedroom set. |

Still watching the 'ol Samsung!
And I still gotta give huge thanks to radiotvphononut, for the advice about the flybacks being a problem on this set. Saved me grief cause sure enough it failed. Bought the recommended one, and yep, still working today. |

I do have an L.C.D. monitor for my computer. But this because I need to protect my eyes. Otherwise, woul have had been C.R.T. f.t.w.
Regarding tv sets, I still have only C.R.T. in the house. In current use: oldest: sept. 1988 made "Hitachi" (Made in Singapore...); newest: circa 2002-2003 "Hyundai" small (15"-17"?) Made in... Turkey (by "Vestel" I think). Between them: the 12-12-2000 bought "Sony" Trinitron KV-21FT2K. My nickname is turned on just a few times a year. Preservation reasons + since it have nothing digital into it, the image flickers and my eyes suffer. A lot of people say to me why I don't get a L.C.D. set. Why? 1) I don't watch television so much, so no need to invest in one. In audio I would invest, because I do spent more time listen to music then watching tv; 2) My recorded media (V.H.S., L.D., D.V.D.) is in standard definition so I do need a standar definition set. Well, I would like a 16:9 C.R.T. tv set for 16:9 stuff (21" screen is to small for that), but is no room for it. In the future probably will be an L.C.D. set for H.D. stuff, but this isn't a priority. Quote:

My daily driver here at my college dorm is a 1984 19" Sylvania Superset with E32 chassis. Bright, beautiful picture with all original components. I rescued it from the local e-waste recycling shed shortly after moving in. My building has analog coaxial cable from the wall so just screw it in and I get every channel, no digital set-top box required. I have a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis sitting on top, both hooked up, with SD flash cartridges so I can load up whatever game I want. It's everything I need.

If and when I actually watch tv, you can bet it's on a CRT. I'm rockin' a late model Sony Trinitron, it's no classic, but it has a great picture, and sound. But all my computing, and gaming, is done on a crt monitor. LCD monitors just don't do it for me. |

I currently have 5 tv with CRT running everyday since longtime. ( 2 old Toshiba, a Panasonic, and 3 B&W tvs . on 5 inch , a 10 inch and a 19 inch . All my tvs work ) I have no flat panel (screen ) except for my computer . I don't like the new TVs anyway . I have no modern phones and all my phones have a spining dial except some contempra wit push-button .. .. all my 5 radios are old and vintage and work great. In short, I do not have anything modern in my apartment except to have the cable for television by a provider because here in Quebec, we can no longer pick up the local channels on an outdoor antenna for a few years. All this for the benefit of the damned cell phones I imagine !

I watch my Motorola 19k14wa B&W console nearly daily, a Maggotbox 13" digital tuning CRT (from '07?) in the bathroom, a Trinitron broadcast monitor for video dubbing/Commodore 64, A LaCie/Mitsubishi 21" computer monitor, and a JVC D-ILA projector and big roll up screen for High Def.
Hopefully LCD will be obsolete soon, it's had too many flaws from the get go, and is just barely getting "good" If I had the room I'd set a dual Electrohome Marquee 9xxx stack for pure 1080p 60hz CRT goodness! I had an Electrohome ECP but it was a piece of crap that went up in flames, too bad because it had a great picture, very crispy with Laser Disc and Blu-ray. |
