Recommended 13" Tube TV

[radiotvnut]

I remember when all the stores were selling off their remaining analog-only TV's and they were required by law to have a notice by such TV's that clearly explained that the TV in question would not receive digital broadcast and would require a digital converter box after 6/12/09, etc.

All new TV's made as of 3/07 for sale in the USA where required to have a built-in digital tuner. This includes the "last gasp" CRT sets.

I also had a lot of flyback problems with Sharp TV's.

If there was a Toshiba TV made from the 1980s in a thrift shop, how would you rate its reliability? What problems did you see? Did you find Toshiba more reliable than Panasonic and Sharp?
