Thanks! 😃 It was with great reluctance that I accepted its eventual passing. Watching the 80s/90s CBS widescreen OT Laserdiscs on it, was an absolute delight! My immediate thought was to consider looking for a replacement but at the same time, I had to accept that eventually, I’d want to have access to HD stuff.

Unlike my Trinitron: the Viera doesn’t have S-Video: and I can’t remember the reasoning that Panasonic gave me for its omission (yet RCA composite is provided) but I wasn’t impressed.

Yes, I definitely saw what you did there. 😉

(On a side note, Zenith TV’s were not that commonplace in the UK but I did encounter them.)
