Sony always been good by me
The first color television my family bought was a 13"Trinitron, circa 1973, with a bonus my father earned before the mid 70's recession.
It survived three lightning strikes (cable television didn't have as much protection as it does nowdays) and 20 years. They finally put it to bed 1990 or so.
The Sony I bought in 1980 went bad 17 years later; some sort of color imbalance, figured it too expensive to fix.
Granted, today quality miight be lower. Hell, probably *is* lower. But compared to the other television brands I've had experience with, it's still doing pretty dang good. Maybe Toshiba is a good buy. But the sony won't be *that* much more expensive.
(jeez, am I suffering brand loyalty or what?)
