Macintosh TV
Template:Mac specs The Macintosh TV was Apple Computer's first attempt at computer-television integration. It was a curious machine, sharing the external appearance of the Macintosh Performa/LC 500-series, but in black. It was essentially a Performa 520 which could switch its built-in 14" Sony Trinitron CRT from being a computer display to a cable-ready television. It was incapable of showing television feeds in a desktop window, although it could capture still frames to PICT files.
It came with a small remote control that is also compatible with Sony televisions.
Only 10,000 were made in the model's short time on the market, and they are now quite rare.
