Yes saw that, also Alan DuMont’s demo of a giant color wheel for the 30 inch monochrome set. Mostly hype to disuay folks against the system. TV manufactures did not want to take on RCA for fear of being sued and losing millions. Farnsworth, Philco, Aiken come to mind. CBS made (or had sets made) a few prototypes and a consumer set with self contained color wheels and sets with drums. The 21 inch was the prevailing size for many years, but reflect back on the early projection designs, then modern designs to obtain larger screen sizes. Large cabinets with entertainment centers? Large vertical consoles? Then new tech like the JVC set?
