Yeah is was an okay movie, but that big screen flat TV in 79??? Where, how?
About the best the public could expect back then was a typical 24" (or less) CRT.

Even the shitty projector models used in sports bars weren't around yet.

I thought of that too ...
The just common size then was 19" ...
Even in a floor console ...

Yeah I remember our old 19" airline set. good memories.

But if you watch the video that fucking thing is bigger than my current 27"  and must be at least 32" and is flat with almost no bezel like a modern monitor and nothing sticking out the back. How the fuck in the 70's?

That's a good question ...
If you watch "WarGames", they had similar in 1983 ...

I'm guessing it's a spoof of a product to come that actually used special effects to make the screen. Otherwise wtf. Looks so much as now.

I just went back and checked the time stamp I provided and if you notice the screen is also curved, to your advantage, like the latest monitors. To envelope you, hahahahaha
