"You can also SHUT OFF long, annoying commercials while picture remains on-screen!"

I have that too! It's called the mute button. :D

also I want to find out how much the TVs would be in today's dollars, accounting for inflation, but I have no idea what to google to find out.

I couldn't find a calculator to use for this year, but apparently the Bismark would cost $3,134.39 in 2008.

"What cost $149.95 in 1956 would cost $1175.15 in 2008."

The flash-matic is just a cool looking flashlight. And if the TV sat in a sunny area it would go crazy as the sensors were light activated. You had to have a steady hand too to aim at the corner you wanted to control.

I vaguely remember a toy in the 1960s that used this same principle.
