The Macintosh TV was Apple Computer’s first attempt at computer-television integration. It shared the external appearance of the Macintosh LC 500 series but in black. The Macintosh TV was essentially a Performa 520 that 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 in a desktop window although it could capture still frames to PICT files.
