There is an interesting point here... Zenith was only 1-2 years removed from marketing its "giant circle screen" sets. If they really thought a circle was the shape of television (which I doubt); how odd that they would undertake not only color, but rectangular tri-color tubes by early 1954 .

Small screen size was the knock on the CT-100, and more "useable" sq. In. was the portholes's gimmick. I don't think they really believed it, but kinda funny.
