Well...fired up the Zenith yesterday. Nice set...too bad the picture isn't a whole lot better than what my RCA was delivering. It's a stereo set, nice audio...might have a problem with convergence, and the color's not quite right. I was able to access the menu thru the front panel controls and messed & messed & messed with all the settings but wasn't able to get things looking right. I thought things looked best when the "Color Sentry" was activated, but my wife didn't like the way it looked and asked me to "put it back the way it was". Whatever. So...the plan's in place: haul the RCA to the shop. They still work on CRT sets, and if it's fixable for $150 or less I'm OK with that. I'd have to spend at least that for a used set (and be unsure of what I was getting) , can't find any on the curb, don't want a flattie...and I miss the great picture that RCA delivered even at about 14 years of service. The Zenith will do back-up duty til the RCA returns. All this hoohah did give me an opportunity to neatly dress all the cabling in the entertainment center and give everything a good vac & wipe, though.
