NBC Peacock Demo on 1964 Magnavox 

"An Evening with Fred Astaire" is NBC's one-hour live television special show, right?

the Magnavox has amazingly good color for being 54 years old

That set is gorgeous! Sounds great too !

My mother was a Boomer and said once Rock and Roll started in the 50's, the days of dancers like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, with big musical numbers were done.

Today's kids don't even know who Fred Astaire was.......sadly. My father passed down to me his love for classic movies. I don't think some parents or grandparents have the time or desire to pass down

The Peacock Logo is sweet! So is Fred Astaire and the dancers. I'll take that Chrysler convertible too!

I'm little late for the party but this was AWESOME!

This is awsome, thanks so much for this post 💞

LCD displays have infinitely better color than plasma or CRT's. It's apparently impossible to produce a wide light frequency emitting red phosphor, unlike green or red. Instead, you get a series of orange peaks with super high peak in the far red. LCD's have the best of both worlds. An additive RGB primary achieved with filters or subtractive methods, which is where the red becomes just as good as the green and blue.

Love the '59 Chrysler line!

Where’d you find a non-letterboxed version of this video? Also is that a black matrix picture tube?

Spectacular picture!

Nice touch. I have an old 1950s Motorola TV as a designing touch in my home.

Very cool! Technicolor and these old sets are a real pleasure to watch! I wish everything today was shot in Technicolor!

"Custom TV commissioned by and built for NBC Studios New York" - so, is this not really a restored Magnavox, but a prop piece with a flat screen installed?
