Do "roundie" color sets make a better picture than later sets?

It was NOT just you....I still have fond memories of my 25MC33, seeing shows like "the spy who loved me" 2001", Dark star", Caddyshack", Airport 79" Coma", "You only live twice"...along with a LOT of mission impossible episodes and such. ... and MANY others--for about a year--on that wonderful set. It was OTA only, and only a few channels. BUT what we had ...just looked SOOO good !!

Zenith claimed they "had something different and special" in their roundie set--from the 29JC20 on...IMHO....they DEFINITELY did !!

I know what you mean abouth the 25MC33 sets. I have one and the picture is stunning. Everything I watch on it looks great. It is really fun to watch Mad Men on it as roundies were often featured in that show. The build quality on the Zeniths is excellent and it makes me feel as if the set can las for decades more with good care. I just can't see any flat panel lasting as long. I was always fascinated by round screen sets the first one I ever saw was a Zenith color roundie back in 1974 as a kid and I never forgot it.
