Zenith...over rated or not!
#20

During the 60's I worked for a large radio and TV dealer, in the
order of a great color picture and over all quality of what we sold they were:
# 1 RCA
# 2 GE
# 3 Sylvania
# 4 Zenith (picture quality depended on their source of CRT's at the
time, when Sylvania had the contract Zeniths looked
great the other source was horrible. Two of the same
model side by side out of the boxes one looked great the
other horrible depending one the CRT source. these
inferior CRT's would develop a green ring on the screen
borders within a year. Zenith TV's were very over rated
# 5 Admiral....a distant # 5
