TVs are cheaper these days but Illinois Attorney general Lisa Madigan believes some Illinois consumers are owed money from a bygone era. 

 

She says some consumers who bought Hitachi, Philips and Samsung tvs or monitors between March of 1995 and November 2007 may have been victims of illegal price fixing of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) that went into TVs. 

 

The lawsuits ended with $36 million in settlements. People have the chance to fill out an online for to claim a portion of that money. An individual can claim $20 for a CRT television or $60 for a CRT monitor.
