LIFE Nov 6, 1950 Zenith Black Magic round TV set


Supreme moment! When Zenith Black Magic Television comes into your life (1950)

You've known great moments in your life. You've lived in an age of marvels. But there's an experience coming your way—an experience so dramatic—so un-believably out of the world, as to make all others seem commonplace.

It's not just television you're seeing… it's the miracle of Black Magic Television, made possible through Zenith's amazing discovery of the Blaxide Tube. Its the thrill of seeing pictures so clear, so photographically life-like that you hardly believe your eyes. Pictures free from eye-straining glare or blur even in daylight or fully lighted rooms, as medical authorities recommend viewing.

And now for '51 — wonder of wonders — the new Zenith reflection-proof feature added to make viewing even more perfect. Now you see pictures utterly free from window and room-light reflections at normal viewing position — truly, television's newest miracle. Be sure — be very sure — that when you invest in television, you guard against after-regrets.

Philco creates world's first separate-screen TV set! (1958)

Keep the set beside your chair… put the picture anywhere!

Philco creates world's first separate-screen TV set!

Philco builds chassis and sound system into a table… makes picture tube separate and portable!

Philco brings you another spectacular advance in the science of television! Now the picture tube is completely freed from the chassis… can be placed anywhere in the room… even carried to another room!

This revolutionary new Philco Predicta Tandem was made possible by Philco scientists who developed the new "S-F" (Semi-Flat) picture tube. Ordinary tubes would have been far too bulky and cumbersome. A flexible 25-ft. cord connects the powerful chassis with the big, bright picture tube.

The set itself, with all its controls and the speaker system, is built into an elegant modern end table. Philco's full, rich sound is right at your elbow, always conversation-clear. You can put the picture on a wall shelf, where a roomful of people can enjoy it, or place it up close to your chair for personal viewing.

This tomorrow-new television is at your Philco dealer's now. You can own Predicta Tandem in blond wood, as shown, for $339.95, and in mahogany finish for only $329.95.

New Built-in Range Finder: Three-way control adjusts the set for peak performance on weak, strong, and in-between stations — even for stations varying up to 50,000 times in signal strength. Better than ever before, solves the problem of overload, picture flop-over and "snow" in multiple station areas. It's on the front of the set — not hidden or hard-to-reach. Click — and it's set for one of its three positions, depending upon the signal strength of the station.

Available with the World's Finest All-Channel UHF Tuner: Philco's UHF Tuner is recognized everywhere as the leader of the industry. Its record for distance, for noise-free reception, and for sensitivity has never been equaled. Even more, it offers the easiest, fastest tuning with a two-speed dial that at any point it stops automatically gives the user a fine tuning adjustment. Unmatched for convenience, speed and accuracy!

Filter is built into the face of the tube itself, while developments in the circuit as well as in the cathode ray tube result in the highest standard of viewing enjoyment in the industry today.
