This is brought up off the ``is this a good tv`` thread

I work on all new tv sets where i work ( salvage return store )
In late 03 i noticed panasonic vcr/dvd combos were not pana. inside
anymore .

Just last week i got 2 very expensive Toshiba ... 36`` flat tube set and
a big 52`` big screen to work using an APEX remote

This is certainly disappointing but not a total suprize . I wonder if
this is a result of vacuum crt sets being fazed out in favor for the all
flat panel screens to keep the cost down .
