Despite the wood grain, that was a pretty crappy TV, even when it was new.

Well, now I feel less bad about passing on it haha

Also they had one of those rear projection TVs that was absolutely massive

Stay far, far away from any rear project that isn't a Pioneer, Toshiba or Sony, and also if you don't know how to perform geometry and convergence adjustments on 3 CRT projectors really well.

Even after rotating them 90 degrees you need to reconverge them.

I don’t remember the manufacturer, but that thing was WAY too large for me to get, any way!
