Who knew in the 1950's that there was already a flatscreen TV prototype?

Who knew? Mr. Wizard. That's who knew!

In this video, Mr. Wizard shows us the future in electronics - the flat screen television. I had no idea that even back in the 1950's General Electric already predicted that there were would be flat screen TVs some day. Before that could happen, we had to go through giant floor model TVs in wooden cabinets.

 

Thank you to msudock for posting this 1950's Mr. Wizard video for General Electric. Mr. Wizard was best known for his TV shows "Watch Mr. Wizard" and "Mr. Wizard's World". His real name was Don Herbert (born Donald Jeffrey Herbert Kemske).
