Sony does not make the Seiko - only the picture tube (perhaps some other parts as well). Look closely at their respective warranties. Last word I heard, Sony was still limiting the labor warranty to only 90 days. I believe the Seiko goes a full year. (Having been bitten by the Sony's limited coverage, I'm sensitive to the issue.) ----------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech
