That aside about IDTV was interesting. Hadn’t heard of that before.

It used a buffer to interpolate multiple frames from OTA TV also had motion sensing!

Wonder how good it looked in reality?

The article is calling two-speaker mono “high fidelity” so I’d take details like this with a grain of salt. I’m sort of wondering if TFA is AI filtered content from another site.

While I don’t remember hearing the term before, it absolutely sounds like something on marketing department would come up with.

HD was around, but incredibly uncommon, in the late 90s. I remember seeing news segments and stuff on it every once in a while about how it was coming “soon”.

It doesn’t seem too unlikely to me that you might be able to trick some buyers into thinking “oh that’s that thing I heard about“.
