Teleavia type P111 - high definition TV circa 1958

With all the debates raging about games being "Sub-HD" and how High-definition is supposed to be the "future", I thought we all might enjoy reading about how High-Def is by no means nothing new and has in fact been around since the 1940's.

Gizmag writes: "It features a 19-inch screen with white mask, in a tapered-hood case in deep purple with a gold trim. The controls and speaker sit in the rectangular box below and the screen can be turned independently through 150-degrees as well as angled vertically.

The set is also "dual standard", with capability to show 441 lines (which became the standard from 1952) along with a high definition facility of 819 lines, meaning it is high-definition even by today's standards. This system began in France in 1949 but never really got off the ground."

I've seen that you can get converter boxes to get today's TV signals working on old TV sets. I'd love to see if converter boxes existed for this old, obscure "HD" standard, just so we could see someone playing say Gran Turismo 5 on that thing. In High-Def.
