I had one of those TVs... In fact, that was my very first TV... when I was 5 years old back in 1987. My mom won it at work. It had an LCD display that was backlit orange, clock, channel #, etc. It did have an AM/FM radio. The remote control on it was infared, but it took a 9 volt battery.
It didn't get used until we moved into our house in September 1989. Then one day, the power went off while I was watching it. It never came back on and my dad threw it away. I later found out that was due to a faulty surge suppressor (that same surge suppressor fried an answering machine 2 years later.) This was still when Zenith
was Zenith, so if that didn't happen that TV would still probably be my daily watcher to this day.
