From what I have read...the CED debacle was more responsible that anything else. They gambled on it.... like Sony did on the trinitron, having nearly lost their own shirt on the Chromatron. But the trinitron DID become a success---and made Sony into a bigger player than RCA...(despite the FACT ...that trinitron tubes do NOT last all that long and CANNOT be rejuved), and the CED FLOPPED...after RCA put Millions into it...trying to "iron out the bugs" and gain it's acceptance..and Failed.
