It's surprising to see the Orion brand came late to the market, but the Orion company has been around for years.
Unless you are referring to the Zenith TVs with Orion CRTs that were made in Korea or the TV/VCR combo one?

The ones I'm thinking of were from the late 80's. The CRTs were branded Orion, but had Zenith's EIA code and a very small Zenith lightning bolt on the label. They also stood out because, unlike most Orion CRTs, they produced an excellent picture.
