Doesn’t look like Sony made a 42". They did make a 43", which is what this story is about, but it was only 480p not 1080i. The largest 1080i CRT they made was the 34".
Hmm, I went through that entire link on gallery mode and I actually didn’t see my parents TV in there. I also couldn’t find it on a general Google search or Wikipedia
One of its defining features that I remember clearly, was it had a downward rectangle “paddle” for a power button that had that “fake vent” texture on it, and I didn’t see that on any of the wide screens on that link.
So either what my parents had is some sort of forgotten model, or I got the brand wrong, but I’m like 80% it was a Sony

I’m guessing it was a different brand if you remember the details that clearly. The fake vent texture is making me think Magnavox for some reason.
