I THINK I read this here-Commander Eugene F. McDonald, Jr., the head of Zenith, reportedly DIDN'T much like television-Mainly because his nemesis, Gen David Sarnoff, of RCA, had most of the patents. But McDonald also saw TV was gonna be too big of a market for Zenith to ignore. So he told his engineers to develop a TV-but NOT to bring it out til they got it RIGHT.. Maybe THAT would explain why now, even 60 yrs down the road, the Portholes are STILL giving good service to appreciative owners..
