What I find so fascinating about the Sony KV 7010U Chromatron is why it was even released. My research shows it was only on the market for approximately 3 months starting July, 1968 and that may be optimistic because Sony started marketing the KV 7010UA Trinitron in October, 1968, I know because I saw one in the Sony showroom on Fifth Avenue in New York at that time.

The KV 7010U is part Chromatron and part Trinitron and Sony completed development on it by Spring, 1967. I speculate they pushed it out to the market under pressure of their shareholders to market the first Sony color TV and the Trinitron was not yet ready.
