We've come a long way in just a few years. I just gave away a 32" Panasonic Tau tube tv. 160 lbs. You can't even DONATE these things anymore. It was just 11 years old, that's nothing compared to how long people used to keep tv's.
I still have a Toshiba 20 inch with no corners, black picture tube, with S-VHS and Composite and Components inputs and outputs.
It also has separate customizable audio and video settings for DVD and Broadcast and VHS and video games.
Bought it in 2001 at Best Buy for $400. It still works great.
I am not getting rid of it.
