My longest lived CRT TV that was used much was a Ban Olufsen TV (going strong 25+ years), it's not even broken to this day but in my storage, im planning on using it for retro gaming but recently saw a 15 year old 32" Bang Olufsen for a great price of 50$ I might pickup instead :)

Ive also had good luck with Sony CRT's :)

Edit: The B&O TV is a BeoVision LX 2802 from 1988.
actually  following up on all the old    tvs  an such  i realized my oldist  electronics  was a jvc nivico  turntable i bought for 25.00  dols when i was 18...that would  make it over
35 yrs  ago ..plus  probaly  ten years old when i got it in  1979ish  ..needs a new belt ..where would i find one ..but everything works  including the stylus whic i bought in 1984ish..hardly  used  tapedecks  were in then ..
