User Review: Proton 27" Direct View, Model VT296

From Gary M. Kralik, for About.com

Manufacturer: Proton
Model: VT296
Type of TV: Direct View
Screen Size: 27"
Year Bought: 1992
Cost: $1000
Extended Warranty Bought: No

Likes: For a CRT, it has an exceptionally good clean picture with good depth of field. The remote control unit was obviously well thought out; it is the most logically-arranged and easiest one that I've ever seen.

Dislikes: It weighs a ton; too much for one man to handle.

Why I Chose This Model: It was recommended by high-end audio dealers

Would I Buy It Again: Yes, it's a quality unit but unfortunately it's no longer sold.
