I often think back to TV sets of old. The joy of dismantling one!

The quality of the Turret Tuner!

The complexity of the dual standard chassis with long solenoid operated
switches.

The hinge out Convergence Control Panels.

Later FST TVs - amazing tubes and scanning technology.

How the heck does a LCD TV work?


Â*Â* Badly! Poor picture quality, totally crap sound, random switch off


Rubbish. Much better picture quality, especially in HD, no pincushion
or barrel distortion, no colour registration problems, no focus
problems.

Indeed. And with enough spend on the LCD, great color and viewing angle.
And often faster reponse to scene change.
