Red, green and blue laser beams scanned over a front or rear projection screen by rotating mirrors. A frame buffer in the receiver would allow the image to be synched to the mirrors rather than the nearly impossible task of synching the mirrors to the image.

TV as an entertainment or communications medium had no chance at all till the development of the CRT and the all-electronic process.
