GE took a completely different path from RCA on these small sets.
The RCA is heavy (20lbs without the stand), complicated and lasts forever, the set Dad would get for his Office.
The GE was light (13lbs) & cute & colorful, just right for the Kids at Christmas.

With a good CRT they can make a really good picture, finding one with a really good CRT is a challenge. The 9QP4 was apparently as big a disaster as the 21EAP4 used in the Philco Predicta.

GE was good at making cheap sets perform well. One of the best working 1950's sets I have is a 17" Hotpoint 17S301.
