However, I do agree that the word "Dimensia" was an extremely poor choice of model name on RCA's part for this series of TVs, the reason being the name is just too darn close to the word "dementia". I wonder just how RCA came up with the name in the first place, and for that matter, how many of these component TVs were sold when they were new. I bet the model name turned off a lot of prospective buyers right on the spot.

I read somewhere on the internet some lady at RCA came up with it because it was a new "Dimension" in A/V equipment.
If it's true or not, I don't know. But, interesting theory none-the-less.
