Notes

The unique 38"-viewable tube is an RCA model made in the United States. The same tube can be found in the Loewe Aconda ACO9383 (US) and ACO93102 (EU). However, it is reported that these tubes do not age the best, developing a blurry appearance over a relatively shorter time compared to other tubes. Still, it can look terrific when in good condition.

This set displays 480p and 1080i natively, which is confirmed via timesleuth. 720p is upconverted to 1080i, and has some lag.

Image quality over component is clean and pure, no obnoxious processing to report.
