Color TV In Hospitals

[kx250rider]

I was in the hospital at UCLA in the mid 70s, and they had a few Quasar II hybrid 22" color sets... Not in the rooms though. I was in a ward with 15 or 20 beds, and it had 1 of those Quasars. It broke once, and the custodian brought in a beat-up old Magnavox 19" B&W tube set while the Quasar was being fixed. Later, in visiting hospitals, I saw various TVs through the late 70s including swingarm-mounted Sony 5" color sets (KV-5100 modified for hospital use). By the late 80s, most hospitals around Los Angeles had 19" color sets for each bed. Northridge Hospital; one of the best in LA, now has mainly Zenith LCD sets at each bed. Glendale Adventist has Zenith 19" CRT sets.
