We had a 19" GE set with VIR that we got shortly after it was introduced. Ours was a 1977 model. It never worked right. Saturation and hue would just randomly jump all over the place. I have never seen faces such a brilliant shade of bright blue as on that set. It seemed to vary from one station to another, and I was convinced that our local ABC affiliate wasn't actually transmitting the signal but had some kind of noise present that tricked the TV into switching into VIR mode. Anyway we turned it off after a while.
About the same time the shop I worked in was selling Quasar TVs and in around 1979 or 1980 they came out with Super Dynacolor that also had VIR. I believe those and the GEs were the first on the market.
