The picture in the TV is a screen grab from one of my favorite films, Elio Petri's The 10th Victim (1965). Thanks a lot, Ed!

Is that a movie still? Look like something out of "Deadlier than the male" or a Mario Bava movie. Any idea what the movie is?. cheers Ed Kimberly

Nouniard - Thanks for sharing your experience with Hannspree televisions! I really like their designs so it's nice to know that the TVs work as good as they look. Vicar - Glad you like them!

It's absolutely great and gives off an awesome retro feel without being cheesy like most other 'retro' televisions. Beautiful design, chrome feet that it sits on, six speakers in that grille under the screen, great picture, etc. Retro elegance. I'd love to have a Brionvega if I had space for it.

I was reminded of an insect or alien when I saw it. I like it too! Vanwall - Some of them are home grown creations so I can understand what you're saying. I love the Brionvega with the clear back myself. Marilyn - Glad you enjoyed it! I really wish more companies would experiment with TV technology these days as well as design. Chuck - Glad you found the post interesting, Chuck! I thought of you when I was writing it. It's a shame that more companies don't experiment with design more often and offer consumers more options. Home entertainment systems have a terribly generic look these days and I think people would welcome more choices. Rick - The one with the ears does have a Mickey Mouse look!

It looks like the new Sony M will only be white or black; alas. Three years ago Hannspree released a Batman TV; very cool. Great job Kimberly; you definitely struck a chord with me.

It reminds me of my past, when a pizza parlor near my home showcased the owner's vintage TV and radio collection. All of the machines were great, but I most remember one with a gigantic lens separate from the screen that was used to make the picture appear larger. Wild stuff. Kimberly - These are so fun!

I'll take the Brionvega, tho - love it!

I'll bet it would fit Mickey like a glove. As an owner of a generic-looking Sony, I want the blue one, the one with little ears. I’ll bet it would fit Mickey like a glove.
