The CRT is dead, marking the end of Sony's domination of the television field, at least warranted domination. I still commend Akio Morita for his guts. In a time when we looked to Japan (circa 1968) for cheap price inferior TVs, and Zenith was the undisputed champ amongst video enthusiasts, he broght a TV to market that actually cost more to build and sell than the American brands. The "Trinitron." Apperture grille instead of a shadow mask, inline color guns, etc... We bought them by the droves, even at their higher price, making Sony a global power house, and a household name.
Today, several years after the end of picture tubes, including the Trinitron of course, I still hear people incorrectly say things like "Sony is the best." and some people buy only Sony products as if Trinitron cuties have magically transfered to Sony's other products.
