Siclair Microvision (1977) (r-type.org)
rwmj 17 minutes ago [-]
As you'd expect it was not a success in the end:

> Supply exceeded demand, and 12,000 units were left unsold until they were sold off cheaply. This resulted in a £480,000 loss for Sinclair. Sir Clive Sinclair was certain that the TV1B model released in 1978 would be more successful, but sales were disappointing.

His later TV was more interesting in design but not any more successful:
