Guess we had a shit TV then. Here are some other things I don't miss about old TV's

1. Shitty RF picture. Composite wasn't much better.
2. Game info being cut off in the corners because of curvature
3. Small as picture for the size/price
4. The weight and space required

I agree about build quality/longevity though I'm growing tired of planned obsolescence and disposable product. It's irresponsible. Companies should be fined if a certain percentage of their product line isn't serviceable. No different than a gas guzzler tax, IMO.
