TV sets in The Matrix film? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I rewatched The Matrix recently and caught a glimpse of a Sonotone TV in one scene. Are the any dual-enthusiast film buffs and TV spotters?

I’d like to ID the set. Obviously I have no images so relying on the obsessional qualities of fellow forum members!

"Dual enthusiast..."?

Some people only have TWO interests?

Can’t find a Sonotone TV but this is a history of the company.

It's odd that an American TV would be featured, since practically all the filming took place in Sydney. Maybe Sonotone had an Oz subsidiary. Post production and digital effects were done in California.
