The final two decades of analog color sets(model years 1990-
2005) were among the most reliable and best picture and
sound of that format. With properly adjusted settings, the
picture was accurate enough for the majority of consumers.


Sure, they either didn't know any better or had poor vision to start
with. Growing up with some B&W sets they would have looked great by
comparison.

Sound was better they though as they could put a decent speaker in a big
box, unlike the thin flat screens of today.

I can't remember when we didn't play the TV audio out through our stereo.
Must have been 30 years ago.

Same here and the CRT one I bought in the late 90s had a VGA in for a
PC. My first DVD player was a drive in that PC. (a P-II with a video
accelerator card). It went into the stereo and had my Replay TV
connected along with a VCR.
