It's 24 inch crt. Flat screen tube. Model KV24FV12.
UPDATE: well, last night I had more time to sit down and watch the thing. I'm less sanguine than I was before. I think my 22 year old Sony KV20TS21 spoiled me forever. It had such a lush, pristine picture and color...and this from a set made in 1989!
The color on the KV24FV12 isn't the best. Also, I can see the lines of resolution, most clearly on bright scenes, with white or light blue backrounds. Boy, that's one thing you don't have to deal with with HD. Also, Sony seems to have gone to alot of trouble with the speakers. They're side mounted. They've got a lot of thumping, gratutous bass boom. I've had to turn the bass way down on the TV, but it still rumbles through; and, turning down the bass too far makes the rest of the sound awful.
Did they lose something when they moved to flat screen tubes? Maybe old is just old.
I don't know. I just want my old set back. Should've bought two of them back in 1989, and kept one as a spare.
