In the early 80's I used to see a lot of 12" B&W and 13" color Samsungs with bad flybacks and the build quality was not that great either. They have come a long way though. Our living room TV is a 27" Samsung CRT HDTV. We have had it for two years and it works great. Only the digital reception is poor (probably not the fault of the set). Today I would definitely recommend Samsung. If that set you have is that good, keep it and put a converter on it. Used TVs have no resale value today. In the late 1980s I used to be able to get an easy $25 for a 12" B&W after I had gone through it and made it look and work like new.
