Yes, what I really had in mind when I was talking about newer solid state TVs were the first solid state TVs that came out in the 1970s and '80s. I am wondering if those were inferior to vacuum tube sets because they had drastically reduced circuitry when the tubed sets had so many circuits controlling the picture.
Of course the TVs that are made now have microchips which are very complex.
