A wonderful site…

Look how solid this TV is!!

In the early 80s, for a few years, a lot of high-end TVs had extra inputs for computers. Sony had a huge zillion-pin RGB socket on the KX series, with a kit included to make your own plug for your Apple or Commodore computer. RCA I think had the same thing in mind. They had a line of 15" ColorTrak sets in about 1982 or 83 that had that huge jack panel with just about every kind of input and output except gas!

It would be fun to get an old Commodore computer and hook it up to one of those sets, and get an old Z-channel box too!

There are PLENTY of those RCA Dimensia sets still in use. I know of several of the 26" sets, and there's a 40" projection Dimensia at the Turkish consulate in Van Nuys, CA.
