This is good for the people that cannot afford the new biggist and baddest flatscreens (which in my opinion wont last as long as the freee CRT they just trashpicked). Like me, I see these 27" and 32" CRT sets all over the curbs lately. Working with a free sign on them.

As for the Walmart sets, I agree, entry level sets. My brother bought one in 2007. Dead. I just got done replacing 15 or so lytics in the PS to det it working again. But the blue and green lines running down the screen kinda are hard to ignore. This was a Walmart $500 dollar set too. Made by ILO.

I got a perfect 32" stereo tv with built in digital tuner. guy had just put it out on the curb, I asked he said sure, and even offered to help me put it in the back of the truck.

He told me it worked fine and it does, nice pic no issues at all.

if they dont work its prob just a 75cent cap that can be quickly found with a ESR meter. That was my other freebe, another 32" stereo around 2005 vintage.
