Thanks, but it is currently 10' above ground in a cabinet (still in
use.) I will monitor its deterioration, and look for the best set
that is less than 26" wide in the meantime. Tough to find a 24" screen
in a less than 26" wide package. The 24" WEGA is 25.8" wide.

Which has better longevity: a CRT or a LCD?



LCD, hands down. The backlight is normally good for about 50K, but it
can be replaced with some effort.
