Our panasonic 32" LCD TV has all nichicon and rubycon in it. It's a shame that panasonic doesn't make many computer monitors!!!

The Orion CRT TVs aren't that good. They might use good caps, but one of the caps in the vertical section is always located next to a group of resistors that run hot enough to darken the board. This causes the TV to develop vertical foldover and eventually kill the vertical deflection IC if the cap isn't replaced. This fault exists in every model of CRT TV Orion has ever made.

My parents used to have two Orion-built Sansui CRT TVs. The picture and sound are good, but they both had foldover. My dad decided that the larger of the two wasn't worth repairing and let it die. After seeing how terrible modern LCD TVs are, I replaced the one bad cap in the other TV.
