In the 60's I would not think that mounting a set on the wall was sci fi. There were large deflection angle monochrome CRT sets coming out in the last couple of years of the 50's that were VERY thin. Infact I have an ad for a compact GE monochrome TV stereo console where they say that it can be set on a table, on the floor (with optional legs), or HUNG ON A WALL.

Infact I seem to recall reading a vintage article where an industry man is asked about what he thinks TVs will be like in the future, and he says that he envisions that eventually Tvs will be thin enough to hang on a wall.
