Fun Fact: At one time SONY Trinitron TVs were considered to be the veritable peak of both consumer and professional-use color TV monitors. However, they had one nasty little flaw. The aperture grille of the CRT was held in place by two very thin black horizontal wires positioned at about 1/3 down from the top and 1/3 up from the bottom. Most people apparently didn't notice them. But if you ever DID notice them, it was almost impossible to ever unsee them and ignore them. Ever.

Bonus Fun Fact: You can see SONY TVs widely used in films and TV shows of the era. Usually there'd be a little piece of black tape covering the SONY logo at the bottom center just below the screen!
