I had (have) some relatives in New York, on City Island. They had a 
colour tv set in 1957, and I remember one of my uncles lying in front 
of it twiddling with the controls, trying to get the colour balance 
within 50 units of acceptable. I don't remember him in any other 
position.

I don't know how much it cost at that time, but they had lots of 
money. As I recall, tv seemed to be their life.
