Yeah exactly, it's an interesting technological dead end. The Electronics Servicing article I linked to made it sound like the use of the Fresnel lens in this set was novel, so maybe this came out before 3-CRT rear-projection units were available? I know 3-CRT front projectors were available at that time (like the Advent Videobeam). I think Sony made a front projector with a Trinitron tube around this time, too.
I wonder if this had a composite video input. Since it's largely based on GE's 25-inch chassis, I would guess that it does not have one.
