I think I found a tube that's worse than '90's era Zenith's

Radiotvnut.... I mentioned this story once before but maybe this will help answer your question. A buddy of mine has a 2001 RCA truflat with built in dvd. 20 inch flat faced crt. He asked me to make it look good for him once... This thing bled so badly on the highlights that I had to turn the contrast and color down to almost nothing. Of course by then it looked washed out and lifeless. My recommendation was to use it as-is for as long as it kept going, and then to just toss it. It was by far the worst I'd seen in a while.

I have seen several Philips TVs that has the LG-Philips tube, and the ones i have seen looks great.

I too have a 2006 RCA 20" Tru-flat dvd/tv combo.

While it hasn't had much use....I consider it a piece of junk...mainly because it is.

The dvd player doesn't like a lot of dvd's, especially ones I burn. Additionally, the picture is not centered in the screen...it is off to the left about 3/4 of an inch.

And I know what is meant about trying to get the picture to be good. Especially on the highlights, the picture smears badly so I have the brightness and contrast turned down below 50% for an acceptable picture. Also it has a tough time with a bright image popping up. The picture blooms quickly and then drops to something it can handle.

The crt, the dvd, shoot, the whole set is junk and the sound quality is poor as well.

I am just gonna run it until it dies...but that may take a while as I have had it for a little over 2 years...I probably have less than 40 hours on it. It is in my office and only gets used to test dvd's I have burned for clients. I figure if it will work on that thing, it will work anywhere!
