Sinclair MTV1 Microvision miniature portable television receiver, 1977.

UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 23: Clive Sinclair had long had a ambition to produce a pocket TV and eventually realised it with the MTV1. This was a revolutionary design, based around a tiny 2-inch cathode ray tube specially made by Telefunken. However what set it really apart was the fact that it was the first multi-standard (525/625-line), multi system (VHF/UHF) portable TV - meaning that it could be used anywhere in the world. It was also small enough to fit in your pocket but when it went on sale in the UK it was just too expensive (at £200) for general consumption and the picture was really too small to watch comfortably. It was not a commercial success. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
