    I know the Sharp model was brought over to the US in very limited quantities (mostly sent to stores, since the picture was better).

    I can't think of any more off hand other than portables, or modded portables.

    NEC PC Engine built in to a monitor. Does that count?

    Thanks Hex, I seemed to miss an extra image tag for the SF1 picture.

    ducthconsolefreak: Thank you, your info is on the list. Would you know if this was a Euro-exclusive set? Anything I've found on it is in Dutch, German, or from the UK.

    Yakumo: Do you mean this?

    [​IMG]

    I would say yes. The only thing that would technically exclude it is the lack of a TV tuner, but then what good is the analog Japanese TV tuner on a Sharp SF1? Still a console built into a display. Unless anyone else has any reason to disagree, I'll add it.

    No worries mate, I noticed after I posted it, but left it as I thought it'd kick you in the ass to fix it :p

    Also a collector here on this forum shows the variant of the C1

    @Eviltaco64

    I have no idea. What i could find is that all the manuals available online, specify compatibility for only the PAL/SECAM format. This would suggest it was probably not released outside countries using this type of signal.

    Does this count? PSN on Samsung Smart TVs in 2015

    Game-streaming service PlayStation Now is coming to select Samsung Smart TVs in the first half of 2015, meaning you'll be able to enjoy PS3 games without owning a Sony system or even a Sony TV. The Smart TV-based form of Sony's cloud-based service will roll out in the United States and Canada, according to this week's announcement.

    Sony says Samsung Smart TVs will support "all functionality" of PlayStation Now, including trophies, cloud saves and online multiplayer. As for that last one, Sony doesn't note if that's cross-platform or if you'll have to play with fellow Smart TV owners.

    PlayStation Now is currently in open beta on PS4, PS3, Vita, PlayStation TV and compatible Sony TVs. At the moment the service offers more than 200 PS3 games to stream across a variety of rental periods - you can find the full list of supported games here.

    As for PlayStation Now on Samsung TVs, you'll still need some Sony hardware to enjoy the service. While undertaking Demon's Souls using a TV remote might sound like a fun/insane experiment, Sony says Samsung's non-idiot boxes require a separately sold DualShock 4.

    IMO, only if it has a disc drive in it to put in Playstation games.

    There is more. :)

    Magnavox TV Model 4305

    [​IMG]

    This television is extremely rare. For starters, it was released in 1976 when "pong" consoles were becoming very advanced. That year would also see the release of the first "programmable" console, Fairchild Channel-F. Also, old TVs like these were mostly discarded. The 3205 has the equivalent of an Odyssey 500 built-in.


    Salora Playmaster

    [​IMG]

    This one I didn't know about until a friendly redditor let me know that I missed one in my list. Salora was a Finnish consumer electronics company, making televisions and radios. They branched out into computers for a while and this is a combination of their home computer technology and television sets. It was released in either 1978 or 1979. Reports vary and Google Translate is only so good.


    Pioneer SD-25 Expandable TV (SEED)

    [​IMG]

    Here's another super rare gaming TV to look out for. In 1983 Pioneer made the SEED, which was a color monitor, for the Japanese market. The monitor had expandable modules which could be used in tandem. It's somewhat reminiscent of the scheme they later used for the LaserActive. What makes it a gaming TV? Two things. One of the modules allows for the play of Sega SG-1000 games, and another model allows for the monitor to receive television signals.


    Sharp Nintendo Television (U.S. version)

    [​IMG]

    Released in 1989, the American version has a 19 inch screen, because in America we like things bigger.


    Bang & Olufsen Beocenter AV5

    [​IMG]

    As if one CD-i built into a television wasn't enough, Danish electronics company Bang & Olufsen decided to make thus uber-entertainment center. It even includes an FM radio.

    I saw as a child the SNES TV in a SEARS. So I know it exists.

    There were also many pong systems.

    They released two, the 19SV111 and the 19SC111 (such beautiful names). I can't find pictures of the second one, but wikia says it had a "sleeker design"

    Belated Merry Christmas, everyone.

    Thank you for the additional information. The list has been updated.

    I'm looking to consolidate more pictures and info per console (release/discontinue dates, sales figures if any exist, unique hardware differences/revisions, etc).
