Summary

A surprisingly great 31" TV by Sanyo. While it says on the model sticker that it was assembled in the USA from imported parts, I believe it was manufactured in Mexico. This set is an underappreciated gem.

Notes

The set has very nice handling of s-video, just a very warm and inviting image. There is a bit of blooming, but overall, it looks good.

The picture tube inside is either a Panasonic, Hitachi or Philips model. And its a rather atypical 34cm one. (The included images of the picture quality are of the Panasonic tube.)

Despite having 1W speaker per channel, I had a pretty loud and nice-sounding experience with this set. Consumer reviews of this model have also corroborated that it has great speakers.

Jungle chip is a Sanyo LA76170N, and it has pins for analog RGB, so a mod is possible. However, the datasheet for the chip is not available online. Fortunately, someone cross-referenced it to an almost identical chip, a Sanyo LA76075. Datasheet HERE
