    Got my 30" widescreen 150 lb KD-30XS955 on it.

    I have had 4 identical 27" RCAs for about ten years. In that time, one crapped out, and the other 3 work great. I've had other TVs look a bit more crisp, but in S-video they look great. Tempest 2000 on Jaguar in S-video is awesome on my RCAs. I keep 3 hooked up at all times in my basement to run systems that don't do great in HD, a separate 27" monitor setup for Neo Geo AES, and a 32" HDTV mounted on the wall behind my bar back so you can sit at the bar to play PS3 or 360. With my arcade cabinets, I just turn it all on, order a pizza, and generally pretend I'm a 12 year old in my own private Chuck E Cheese. So, yeah, I'm an idiot.

    I do like the RCAs I have, though, for S-video picture, but running them side by side, I've noticed the color on the same settings actually looks slightly different, for what it's worth.

    That's good to hear that you like them so much. Are they flatscreen by chance?

    No, they're not flat. I prefer thr old convex style myself, as it's what I grew up on for those older systems, just better picture.

    Perfectly normal. CRTs are like snowflakes; no two are exactly the same, even when fresh from the factory.
