Sony KV-35S65 35" Trinitron TV
No longer the best
Purchased this 4 years ago and the tube is defective.  I spent the extra on a Sony thinking the quality was at least the same as my 20 year old Sony(which is still working).  After talking to 3 repairmen, Sony is not what it used to be.  My problem (intermitent short in tube) is known by Sony (so says one repairmen) but is not important enough to be addressed by Sony. The cost of the tube makes buying another brand my best option. Before buying, just try to call Sony Service.
