Hi,
A tube TV is a television set that uses a CRT for its picture dislay as compared to a digital light processor (DLP), LCD (liquid crystal display) or plasma sets.
It is also in my opinion, the most dependable of the TV's on the market and will remain so until today's manufacturers can build a more dependable TV using the newer technology.
Tube TV's may be down, but they're not out and shouldn't be discounted.
Hope this helps,

Can you replace a picture tube by yourself on a RCA TV?
Theoretically it is possible to change a tube on a television. However, if the question is being asked, it suggests a limited experience of television repair. Television tubes require very high voltages to operate, in the order of 20,000 volts or higher. These voltages can be lethal and they are present within a television circuit long after the television has been turned off. In addition to the danger, lining up a new tube requires detailed knowledge of the television model and the procedure to obtain a good image. Unless you are properly trained and qualified to repair televisions, do not ever remove the covers. Finally, the cost of a new tube for most televisions is now higher than a replacement television and it makes no financial sense to attempt a tube replacement. I replaced a broken Picture Tube on a RCA set myself, I got a shock while lifting the old tube into my car, I forgot to discharge the tube and lucky I didn't drop it, that would have been dangerous. I found an old used tube to replace it, a new rebuild would be too costly. I don't recommend anyone do this unless you have some knowledge.
