My $300 55 inch rca lasted about 2 years before the picture started twitching with flashing lines. But I definitely remember 'the craze' well, and me trying to tell people to stay away but having no chance against the classic RFD mob mentality and the buy buy buy folks. You never see anyone talk about this stuff anymore except me, lol.

I do wonder where those 50-55' fauxK grocery store TV folks all are now. 'Now in new larger 60' size and cheaper than ever before!' Still also as crappy as ever, I'm sure

There were several many-page threads on such 'deals', along with the really big thread in discussion about how to buy one of these junkboxes and how to try to ensure 'you got a good one' or how to 'fix it' after you'd bought it by going through the menu and finding secret fw updates and whatever Also I believe that whole grocery store TV crusade/thread was run by a mod on here too

'grocery store' TVs like hotcakes here on RFD, because they were '4K' (fauxK) in a time when such TVs were mostly expensive. LOL it brings back memories of what like 8-10 years ago when ppl were buying the fauxK 50-55' RCA, etc. this thing does NOT have any digital connections - the highest connection it has is an S-VHS (really weird anecdote: i have a laptop (dell) I bought in 2004 that had a s-vhs output on it!!) The aforementioned 36' tube that my parents have - its available (I have tried putting it on kijiji for $10 bucks and have had numerous people say they will take it and none actually showed up (the caveat I have is that they have to move it themselves - this thing probably weighs at least 150 pounds) I am kinda surprised no one wants it to play retro video games on. You can still find people looking for HD tube tv (especially the later sony ones - theres something special about the color on these tv to use for things like editing)Īlthough the asking price for these is still around $100 bucks. The link you put above is at least for an HD tv (although it doesn't specify resolution) AND that tv you put up there was a 16:9 configuration which I think was a bit rare back in that day. My parents still have a wood cabinet 'Granada' from the 70's plugged and connected to a PS2 and OG Xbox via RF just for fun when the kids visit. Pioneer is also now a licensed namesake for bargain level TVs like JVC and Sharp (but Sharp was top of class not so long ago).Īnd this RCA was my dream home theater TV 20+ years ago,
