The Kloss Novabeam Model 2 also used a flat screen. It was in a relatively compact cabinet with a flat top cover when not being watched, that was actually a mirror when lifted up and placed in slots at an angle. The inline CRTs faced nearly straight up toward the mirror, and it projected a 64" diagonal picture that was pretty bright onto a piece of white foam-core art board. A pretty decent picture at the time, though it was dimmer in the bottom left and right corner areas of the screen. It did not have really sharp focus compared to later rear-projection CRT displays of similar size, but it had the correct color temperature (6500 K) when few if any regular TVs were available that way.
