Bang & Olufsen Beovision MX 1500 television receiver, c 1989.

UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 23: The MX 1500 was a portable, remote-controlled colour TV. It used a newly-developed 39cm flat-square picture tube fitted with a special contrast screen to ensure �superior picture quality, lifelike colours and the sharpest contrast - even in broad daylight�. The advertisers called it a �personal TV� and emphasised the fact that you could pick up the 12.5kg set and move it around the house easily. Even the viewing angle could be adjusted to suit your own personal preferences - it was designed so that it could be tilted when placed low down on the floor for example. The Beovision MX 1500 came in four colours - red, black, silver-grey and white. It had built-in teletext (as an optional extra) and, unusually for the time, connections for video and tape recorder, earphones, PC and TV games. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
