I had a Casio TV-770, with a 2" color screen, still have it sitting on a shelf as a curiosity. Worked very well, used 4x AA batteries; took it with me on vacations, came in handy during power cuts too.

I always wanted the Game Gear TV cartridge. I thought it was the coolest idea.

Most portable TVS only required two strong men and a boy to carry them. 😮

Those Watchmen TVs were very expensive. When I was in high school they wanted to confiscate my friends. It led all the way to the police showing up. He said I may be wrong for having in school but this thing is way too expensive I'm not giving it to you that's stealing. Very persuasive kid. He kept his watch man🎉🎉. He was my hero he proved that just cuz you can make a rule in school doesn't mean it doesn't break a law. These know-it-all teachers and staff didn't know what to do with themselves. As he proclaimed if you take that for me I'm going to file charges🎉🎉🎉

I have seen the evolution of TV's since the use of the CRT (cathode ray tube) to the present day flat screen TV's . The early TV's had manual control knobs for vertical hold , horizontal hold , etc. . The early TV's also used tubes as transistors did not become cheaper to manufacture until the 1970's . Tube type TV's took around a minute to warm up and display the TV program . In the 1980's tubes started to become obsolete in TV"s and the "instant on" transistorized TV was born . PLL''s (phase locked loops) eliminated all of the manual adjustment controls and TV's became more streamlined . Then came digital tuners along with flat screen TV's and the CRT (cathode ray tube) became obsolete and disappeared .

Had a small, portable black and white TV about the size of a shoe box, ran on DC/AC power from Sony. My family took it with us camping. It was great for a rainy day and not miss a show as this was before we had a VCR. I remember watching the Dukes of Hazzard on it in a tent, during a camping trip with my brother, sister and our parents. It was pretty neat for what it was. Today, kids just stream it on the phone anywhere. I guess the kids today really would not understand not having access to the internet and shows 24/7, anywhere you went. TV shows were more anticipated back then. If you missed your show, you had to hope to catch it on a rerun if at all. As I recall, we didn't have TV on all the time. We only watched it as a family to watch a certain show or special. I do recall my dad watching news everynight, we would watch a kid's show and then it was time to get ready for bed. Had to have been early 80's when mom bought me and my sister a small black and white TV to share in our room. My older brother got a new turntable and radio system. She must have gotten them as a set as the tv and radio were white. My sister and I actually wanted my brother's radio/turntable over the TV. We were out growing kids shows and onto to the latest music. I will always remember watching TV while camping on that little black and white TV. I don't recall what happened to the TV. I think it eventually broke or was sold in a garage sale. Can't recall. Long gone now. But what fun memories.

I remember, in the mid to late 1980's seeing these new state of the art LED/LCD based pocket TV sets at Radio Shack. But like Disco-Vision, the CED and the Beta VCR, Nobody gave a hoot.

They never had this kind of LED technology back then.

I was impressed when that first Sony Watchman portable TV came out, but we didn't get our first portable TV until the mid-nineties with a JVC 3.5" color LCD pocket TV. We probably actually used it about half a dozen times before the analog-to-digital transition rendered it useless. I still have it, I'm just not sure what I can do with it.

I appear to be of a similar age as you sir and I also remember many of these devices. Fast forward a few decades later and the next couple of generations take the R and D behind these, “at the time awesome gadgets” absolutely for granted with such modern marvels as the Smartphone and tablet, and, as with many very young people these days have full access to a tablet or smartphone when they are not even two years old so their helicopter parents can keep them occupied and so therefore the adults can check their antisocial media feeds to get their fix! It has turned into a bit of a Dopamine roller coaster ride for way too many! Social media is, in many cases, actually the complete opposite of social! 😔😔 Brilliant video and great presentation. 👍👍

Funny how nearly all of these 1970s marvels were made in the mid to late eighties.

My cousin had one of those tiny TVs, but it was in B&W. Nowadays, you can watch streaming video on devices like PCs, smartphones & tablets. 👀

There is more misinformation in here than I’ve ever heard. Wow. Albeit. I did have the Radio Shack version of the Casio 600.

Indeed, it was painful to hear "LCD" and "CRT" tossed around like synonyms in this video. For the record, the Sinclair FTV1 was a CRT, not LCD, and the reverse is true of the Realistic model. This sounds like it was written by some really ignorant AI, just stringing words together to sound superficially coherent but rarely straying near the facts.

Once I had the Realistic LCD TV, it is gone now, don't know what happened to it. I used it only a few times, batteries in the TV and more batteries in the detachable back light. It costed a small fortune to operate and the reception was not that great. It was not that useful, it was more a gimmick, as a child I thought that it would be wonderful to be able to watch television everywhere, well it isn't! Watching TV is boring, TV is is painkiller for the mind, an addiction, stupid amusement, an instrument to control and dis-inform the people.
