"Dimensia" was a marketing name screw up. An old friend of mine, an advertising company owner, mentioned to me that everyone at the news conference when RCA first presented the Dimensia line to the world, whispered "Isn't that a kind of mental illness"?.
You aren't the only one who noticed that! I had an RCA Dimensia set (great picture) and ironically, I purchased it at an estate sale in Sun City, AZ (retirement community). Only the short-lived Insignia Alzheimers Y2K was a bigger marketing screw-up.
