We could always try for a console TV and one of those huge fresnel lenses that sat in front and faked a bigger screen. On Fri, Jul 8, 2022, 10:01 AM Ethan O'Toole via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
re: Sharpvision...
Mmmm watching TV through a screen door.
I remember when those first came out. There was this futuristic electronics store in Virginia Beach called F/X. You rode a people mover (flat treadmill thing like in airports) down a hall with a bunch of CRT TVs and stuff and landed at a floor with a lighting grid above overlooking the store. Ramps into the various sections. It was cool. They had the Sharpvision when it first came out. It was pretty amazing at the time.
The F/X places went out of business, though Circuit City remained. F/X building became a massive flea market, then went unused and homeless people caused fire damage I think.
Crazy times. I just remember that store had style and things like the Sharpvision.
