Finding specs for older TV

Ten years old might actually make it a better purchase than if it were only six.  The larger TVs were being made in the US for a while there.  If this was one of those, snap it up.  The quality began the slow slide downhill when they moved all their plants overseas.
I have a ten year-old Proscan (RCA) as a primary TV that was made in the states and works today as well as the day I bought it.  Don't discount RCA out-of-hand.

I'll agree with that.  I have some 20+ year old TVs that give a picture that beats the CRAP out of most average SDTVs made in the last 5.  And that is after 20+ years.  It's very common to plug in an old GE or Sylvania TV and get a comparable picture from Coax that you get from S video on a recent Walmart level TV.

Thanks for the info. I had always thought that RCA was a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- brand. I'll think about it some more.
ChadTower:

The ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- brands of today are not necessarily the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- brands of 1990.  Most of the US TV makers there and back made good stuff, like Sylvania, GE, RCA.

The great brands of 1990 are not necessarily good brands now.  Sony instantly springs to mind as one that used to be a top name and now produces crap that doesn't last.  Samsung used to be a bottom end dept store brand - now they make pretty damn good stuff.

Panasonic went from being a middle of the road brand to a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- brand and back again.  :)

Alright, then. I think I buy.
Thanks guys  :)
