Sony Trinitron Television
I have a Sony Trinitron television that is probably a few years old. I use it frequently, and it works well enough for my needs. It came with the place, and I’ll have to leave it behind when I move out.
My Sony Trinitron TV has a few problems. First, it constantly hums a high-pitched sound. The sound is much louder than the hum of other televisions; so loud, in fact, that I cannot leave it on mute while talking on the phone.
Second, the lower half of the picture is distorted. Its colors come out strangely and incorrectly. You might imagine that it would be a big problem, but I don’t expect much and I’ve gotten used to it. Come to think of it, the colors of the entire picture are somewhat wrong. But again, it doesn’t bother me.
Third, the lettering on the front panel has smeared off from use over time.
Fourth, I lost the remote. I think it’s deep under the sofa. I’ve tried to find it, but I have had no luck for the past few weeks. One thing I’ve learned from this experience is that although I’m too lazy to look deeply for the remote control, I still do exert the effort to walk up to the TV and turn it on directly, so in reality I’m not entirely lazy.
Fifth, the Sony Trinitron television is heavy. I get scared when I have to crawl under the television to reach for something in the storage space behind the TV/VCR shelves. The TV seems like it would fall on me and kill me.
To summarize this review, well, the Sony Trinitron TV is tolerable for my purposes, but if I needed to buy a TV and had money, I’d get one of those new lightweight flat TVs instead.
