Meet the 1958 The Philco Predicta. The first TV with a picture tube separated from the chassis, the thinnest profile, a swivel angel of 180° with flatest screen. The Holiday Inn hotel chain had exclusive rights for the first year. It was a design Apple would have made in 1958.pic.twitter.com/QquJW2rLbh
