There's no denying the fact that we live in a time of flat screen televisions. In fact, a recent trip to my local Best Buy proved that you can only buy flat screens in their stores these days. Clearly, that was not always the case. In 1968, a British man named Arthur Bracegirdle designed the Keracolor television, the world’s first perfectly spherical TV made from fibreglass. While they probably wouldn't be the ideal set to hook up your TiVo or DVR to, I think they'd bring a little funk to any retro-mod living room.
The company closed in 1977, but Born Rich alerts me that they are back in production and being made from the same shells. The new Keracolor Sphere TV (see image below) combines a retro look and contemporary technology. The sets are small (they come in 20 and 25 inches) and cost about $3,000.

It reminds me of a head of a robot. Sort of cool yet alittle creepy.
1It's cute but I don't want it as my main tv or monitor, just something on the side for decor.
2they are aesthetically pleasing, yet hmm... i don't know for sure if i like them.
3I WANT ONE!!! But in toy-pink or sunflower-yellow.
425 inches...that's bigger than the TV I WATCH tv on
5This is Marvin's head

Those are so retro-future...I WANT ONE!!!
7haha.awesomeness, definitely on the wish list this Christmas.
8These are stunning. So much better suited to a high-design living room that a regular ol' flat screen.
9LOVE!
10I can sell you an original one in Hot Orange, modified with a modern colour set inside. A beautifully made piece of kit and the only TV that makes me smile.
