RCA 36" crt question

If memory serves me correctly, a few years ago RCA produced a 36" CRT set that was supposedly a high def. set.
Does anyone remember the set or know the model number?
I have someone who wants to give me a 36" RCA set, with pic in pic option, and matching stand. I might be interested if this is the high def. set, otherwise not to thrilled with it - just a BIG bpc set.

Thanks.

Cheers, Wizard

When I did service for a big box store chain in the early 1990's, we had alot of issues with 36" RCA crt's being defective out of the box, or being defective within a month or so from the sale of the set.

I saw a couple that would light up the entire neck bright blue just as the set shut down. Not purple, like gone to air, but gassy blue. A new CRT always fixed the problem. I didnt stay with this company very long, as they always sided with the customer, and never backed up their own techs. Never looked back, either.

IIRC, ATSC tuners were installed in their DTC series chassis - the MM36110 is one 36" set that would do 1080i. Keeping flybacks in them was a pain.

Some ATC or ITC sets had ATSC tuners, but only did 480i/NTSC.

Cheers,
