Sinclair C5 portable TV Sinclair Research, more famous for its commercial crisis Sinclair C5, brought us the first commercial near-pocket TV in the nineteen seventies, the MTV - 1. In my opinion it is near-pocket TV because with its tiny gray scale monitor and huge battery, you'd need a quite big pocket to call it a pocket TV, but one selling point was that is could receive both PAL and NTSC frequencies, making it suitable for gadget-hungry jet setters. To be honest, with a price tag of $395 (equal to $1,309.66 at this time), gadget-hungry jet setters were probably the only ones who could afford it, the MTV -1 lost the organization £1.8m in 1978 consequently.
With the coming of age of the Printed circuit board and IC, electronics began to reduce in size, and rapidly. So when Sony released the Watchman FD-210 in 1982 it was noticeably smaller, though not quite small enough for your pocket. And because of another innovation, LCD, a recent generation, the FDL-310 had a color screen. Watchman continued to sell good into the 1990s.
