- I hate making any kind of brand judgment with only one or two samples, so here's
- one more piece of information:
-
- I've owned two Sony TV's in my life, one 13" that operated perfectly for about
- 15 years, and more recently a 27" that has operated perfectly for about 4.5
- years now.
-
- Your milage may vary. I bought the second Sony because I had such good luck
- with the first, and I personally like the Sony picture tube (Trinitron) for
- sharpness and color, blue-tinged warts and all.
