I owned an LG made flat crt SD set that Zenith had out in '99 with the A and B lines, but it was a complete LG design. When this one came out in 2002 or so I wanted to upgrade but couldn't justify it since the other one was such a good performer. Wishing I had now!

well its Phillips head but the way the inside looks like zenith the type of wires, the plugs and the heat sinks plus the color of the chassis is that white colored board. I could be wrong if lg designed they did a good job. by the way it uses the zenith original remote code. I have a lg built zenith built 3 years later and the oem remote does not work. the service menu uses the original zenith access. The later zenith the Tripler part of the fly back opened up and have to buy the sweep module, but that chassis color of the board looks different the plug and the wires are different. on the 02 set you can get hd signals from the component inputs. I wish I could find the digital tuner unit you could buy to go with it. dtv tuner you could use the vga input or component.

Philips was another manufacturer of 16:9 CRT HDTV or HD-ready sets sold in the USA.
In Europe, widescreen standard-def sets and programming were very common, even back to before 2000.

DTV1080s were available for a while - I haven't seen many lately though. Useable with NTSC/ATSC and Direct Tv, but folks around here used them as tuners for their overblown VGA monitors and projectors.

I have the Sony 34" XBR series flat CRT with the dual tuner and Super Fine Pitch CRT. It is the only one they made with the tuner/CRT combo. The color rendition is spectacular. Geometry was a bit off until I figured out the service menu. Had to replace one board for the usual 7-blink death. I saved it to change the chips some day. While it was open, I set the internal focus and did more in the menu. It is HD but not quite up to a modern version. I have seen them on Craigslist for free. Just carry away all 200 pounds.
And you can also look for the Samsung SIR series of tuners. Quite good here with a rooftop antenna and 30 miles from the sticks. 30+ channels on component and DVI.

Have seen a few on CL in Ohio over the years. Not worth mentioning without knowing where the OP is, as the seller is unlikely to ship, and the set it unlikely to survive...

Turns out there's a Toshiba 42" version on Columbus CL right now.
See Curbside for the link. Chip Last edited by Chip Chester; 08-01-2015 at 10:05 PM.
