Can't speak for the black & white sets, but I can tell you:

The Sony Jackson's talking about was a 30". It came out in 1980 or '81 and cost $10,000. Kind of their version of RCA's G2000.

Mitsubishi's 35" monsters, the biggest of the time, started appearing in 1985. They upped their own ante in '92 or '93 with a 40". Not sure if Sony still makes their 40" or not, but I haven't seen a bigger CRT than that.

The biggest HD tube was 38" and was made by Thomson for RCA, ProScan and Loewe. The color's amazing, and it's a shame they haven't duped that size in a flat tube.
