Any one here will still use the C.R.T tv's for every day wathcing tv?

[Cantabury Guy]

I have a 1977 Sears brand 19inch color set with elecronic tuning. Played hours everyday,seven days a week. Never been fixed and still has a good picture. I guess I buy a new set when it breaks, unless I go first.

Every night we have ONE TV a Philip's Magnovox 34" we bought from Sears a half dozen years ago. Works great. I'll replace it when it no longer works. With what I have no idea I do know it won't be any wider then 42" cause that is the widest cabinet that will fit in the Cabinet our son made his mom from a kit right before he went in the NAVY.

Everyday sets for me are still CRT. Even at work most of the monitors are still CRT we just started to buy LCD sets.

[JohnAdams]

I have a Zenith 32" AVI series, SL3285, from around 1993 still in daily use. Also a Sony 36" wega. Have a total of 11 CRT sets and one Panasonic 3 LED Projector.

I love and appreciate all of my antique TV sets and radios, but my entertainment at this point is nearly 100% digital, except for audio amplifiers/speakers. Over-the-air TV and radio are digital (except for a few analog-only radio stations), movie discs are digital (mostly HD), connection cables are digital (HDMI), displays are digital (flat panel and front projection).

We are a CRT only household. Maybe we will buy a flat screen when the new technologies improve to match the quality of a CRT and the prices drop.

I currently don't even have a tv newer than 1970, newest tv I've ever had was a 1991. And most of the time I still watch b/w, I have to be watching a color program I want to see in color before I fire up a color set. But the one piece of modern technology I do use is dvd players because it lets me watch whatever I want rather than being stuck with whatever's on. I probably would have stayed with older (late 70s-early 80s) vhs units rather than going to dvd, but the widespread availability of older 1950s-70s television shows (which is nearly all I like to watch) on dvd brought about the change for me. As far as computer monitors, I tend to do most of my work on a portable computer with the lcd display, but that's out of a need for portability rather than a desire for the lcd. When I'm at home reading websites like this I use a good old fashioned crt monitor. As far as audio I nearly exclusively listen to records through tube amps (mostly on tv-radio-phono combo consoles).

I currently watch a 1976 caddy courner zenith chroma color . It works as good as new and i watch it for hours . My kitchen has a 1960 zenith b/w table top and i have a ge portacolor in the bedroom . They all work just fine with no issues . Being i aint a rich man i seem to be happy with what i got . The flat screens look nice however i wouldnt be spending that kinda of money on a tv that will break in five years . I pick up old sets at flea markets and yard sales for 5 or ten bucks , or even find them in the trash . I fix em up and they work just fine . As long as i can hook up the satalite tv or house antenna to the old stuff , thats what i will have .

[zenith2134]

I've found some of my best sets in the trash, just needing simple fixes. My line-up goes like this (all CRT by the way):

- GE portacolor 1966
-Zenith system 3 25" miniconsole 1979
-Zenith 19'' system 3 1981
-RCA colortrak 19" 1983 w/osd
-GE 12" b&w, magnavox 12"b&w
-Sony KV1712 1977
-Sony 35" late 90's
-Mitsubishi 1987 21" with the blue-tinted phosphor

All of these still work quite well and I enjoy watching them all. The ctc117 colrtrak is probably the nicest overall color rendition and brightness of em all, followed by the KV1712. No need to get rid of these for an hdtv, i mean I don't even watch much tv

[bgadow]

I must have around 75 tv sets around the house. All crt. I might bring home a non-crt tv, if it's free, maybe around the year 2020?

[Big Dave]

All 49 of mine are CRT. Main watcher is my Zenith color combo. As far as the day I get an LCD or plasma, it ain't coming. THHHHHHHHH to plasma and LCD.

[jedo1507r]

Five CRT sets in the house! Love the picture and the sets have real character - though the oldest in the house is from the early-80s and newest made in '03.

Though I was annoyed when a friend of mine kept recommending me a plasma or LCD sets to replace the perfectly working four year old CRT RPTV with a good picture which does not have HDMI, DVI or even VGA; just component and S-video. I keep telling him to buy one for me, if he's so content of convincing me. He shut his mouth.

I will try to use the C.R.T. tv as long as I can. After my 2000 "Sony" Trinitron will pass away I'll try to find an used C.R.T. tv still working...

Is there something else besides CRT?

[Acoustic]

CRT here. I buy demo's cheap from where I work. Currently using a Daewoo 27"
that I got for $68 in the living room and a Magnavox 19" which was $33 in the bedroom.
