The General Electric VIR Widescreen 1000 television with ‘computer-like’ circuitry and the ‘chairside convenience’ of random access remote control.

“An incredible 60 times a second,” also known as the standard video refresh rate for all TV screens ever produced in the US.

Though I will give props to their marketing department for neatly covering up the fact that this is a *projection* television, meaning the colors may look lovely but you’ll want to view them in a dark room, as the screen is a backlit display struggling to show a reflected set of signals from separate R, G, and B units … and for calling their VCR the “Command Performance” console.

Not this one, my dad inherited one of those 27 in TVs that was in a huge wooden cabinet I mean it looked so beautiful but that thing had to be like 500 lb if not more. It was his grandma’s and he stayed in her house after she passed so it’s not like the TV went anywhere nobody wanted to move that thing. It was so cool to look at my grandma kept maintenance on it so it still look good into the ’90s but I believe it was from like the 70s, it had an actual clicker that made that sound. Thank you for letting me share this memory.
