When were rectangular colour TV sets first on the market?

Hi Steve. Yeah that can be true. I think I've had the problem when resampling some 300dpi scans to 150dpi. I normally resample 300dpi down to 100dpi which usually yields great results even with 1950s colour scans from National Geographic mags. Only downer is the picture isn't as big as you like it.

Cheers

I got that issue(along with the rest of the issues for '57) at the last Estes auction, in Dec. It IS a real shame, there are none of the sets still around(or... who knows.. that Philco prototype survived, maybe, 1 or more of the old Apple sets, is in a long-forgotten warehouse, too, waiting for its chance to be discovered, and brought to life again. )

BTW-- the Sony indextron is a LOT closer to the Apple, than the Trinitron(I have a vidimagic projector, with an indextron, and it is neat to watch. it has a green glow, from the index phospor, at the rear of the phospor screen, and a normal color picture, up front.)
