We've got TVs down. My grandfather owned Broad Brothers Sony-Only store here in St. Louis(there were 2 of them, just recently they went to different ownership, my grandfather died in '94) so we had only Sonys for a number of years. Here's a list of our TVs, starting from the oldest:
1967 Sony black and white 9"(not in use, I used it as my first TV back in the day(the early '90s))
1978? Sony Trinitron 15?"(used in the basement laundry room, was used in my room till '99)
1979 Sony Trinitron 13" (used in the family room temporarily, read on)
1983? Sony Trinitron 17?" (used in my brother's room)
1984 Panasonic 13" (was used in my kitchen, use to get messed up and the screen would just be 1 green horizonal line, so it's just sitting in my basement)
1986 Sony Trinitron Surround Sound 20" (the king of TVs back then, it cost a fortune and was high-tech, was used in the family room from '86 till approx '92?, then went into the basement as the Sega Genesis/PSX machine, the tube has gone purply but it's still viewable...sits in silence in the basement)
1993? Sony Trinitron 34?" (Big. Big and heavy. Not a projection, just a regular CRT, so it wieghs a ton. Was used in the family room for several years, now is in my parents room)
1994 Sony XBR 53" projection (The deal of a decade, back in '97(I think) when we got it it was barely used(like used 5 times total, then returned after 3 years) and cost $1200(very cheap for the TV since it is Sony's top line). Was used in the family room till, well, last Saturday when it died. Over the years we've had to have 2 major repairs to it and it finally just gave up. Won't even turn on, but when it was on the convergence was all screwed up and the screen was in the pincushion shape. We now use that '79 Sony here, haha)
1999 RCA 25" (my Bar Mitzvah gift from my parents. A great TV, not exactly Sony sharpness but it's great. I use it via S-video for Dish and PS2. Even has a warrenty clock so that you can see how long it's been on for. Just checked, since I got it it has been on for 4,317 hours. Damn!)
2004 Toshiba 17" flatscreen (Bought with a Mazda award card my dad got, the TV ended up costing just $17. Hehehe. It's great, great quality and picture. If I ever need a new TV(I might just buy one for the hell of it) It'll be a 25(or 27) inch version of this set. Ohh it's used in the kitchen...a very snug fit on the counter under the cabinets. We literally had to push it in from a cirtain angle to get it in there, but it's brilliant)
Somewhere in there should be a 5" Sony WatchMan portable TV/Radio and some 3" hand held TVs from various companies.
We're currently looking at another TV to replace the dead XBR. We'll probably get a DLP or LCD...plasma is too expensive and regular projection is going outdated. Our XBR is a square 53", just about everything today is widescreen which kinda sucks in our situation since there's limited width that we can have. We're waiting till this weekend since there will be 4th of July sales and stuff.
it looks as kick ass as them phones do though at least right?? 👍 They have good Industrial Design but are expensive as hell.
