Akai isa well-known and much loved brand name for those who bought stereo equipment in the 70s and the 80s. Whether the Akai TV sets have any real connection to the old brand name is unclear as Akai stopped selling stereo components in the US the mid 80s until the brand resurfaced recently on TV sets.

In the great consumer magazine whose name I dare not utter, the Sony sets generally come out at the top of the heap in tests, but they are also generally more expensive too. I have a 46" Sony CRT RPTV that I think is wonderful, and I had space for the extra depth, about 24 inches.
