Console TVs from the future: in Star Trek
In the pilot episode of Star Trek, they show that the captain has a console TV set in his cabin.
Not much detail visible here, as they used strange lighting in this picture. Even in the future, you still have power cords on the floor...  Looks like the source doesn't allow direct linking, so I uploaded it myself, but I kept the attribution in the lower right corner to keep it "fair use".

Glad to see that Captain Pike insisted on a real CRT!
I wasn't able to see the image inline in your post. I had to go to the link: http://www.trekcore.com/specials/rare/hunter_pike.jpg John PS It would show up the instant I posted this! Last edited by jeyurkon; 11-17-2009 at 09:41 PM. Reason: VK tricked me.

"Forbidden-You are Forbidden Blah, blah, feckin' blah..." Oh, go screw yrself, silly-arse computer...Lessee, the Cap'n Pike stuff was made in '64, IIRC, those look like the older "roundie" style 21-23" B&W CRTs...Yeah, that'd be about right...

The future was so much better in the past...
It would have been cool if they actually made those communicators into little radios or something, but they don't look like they do anything to me. (I don't see a single capacitor (variable or otherwise) anywhere in there, and there seem to be no wires at all going to that switch.
