Revision as of 07:14, 10 January 2026

The RCA 32V430T is a 32-inch CRT stereo television with an Optimum Contrast picture tube and component video input. According to the CRT Database, this is "a surprisingly excellent set by RCA" and "one of their very last ones made by Thomson's Mexico facility before merging with TCL."

Inputs

Features

Optimum Contrast picture tube

Performance Notes

Per CRT Database: This set has excellent picture quality over component that competes favorably with more highly-rated models. It can also display oddball resolutions and refresh rates - Mortal Kombat's 400x254p at 53.6hz and R-Type's 384x256p at 55hz work without issue, making this set particularly good for arcade systems with unusual timing.
