Sharp came out with small color set about six months later after to first P/C.
It was a 13" model that sold under the badges of Wards Airline, Midland and even Motorola. The picture was superior, but they didn't stand up as well as the GE P/C.
The Midland model sold for $188.00.

For the colour issue, the picture looks more or less fine with colour control turned down. With it up, I get colour as per pictures below. The tint control seems to make the problem worse, rather than actually adjusting the tint.
