While along with others I realize the functionality on such device is nil it's still some cool technology. I did as much googling as possible, here's what I found out (I don't think it's being sold anymore and there are 0 Takara dollhouses being sold on ebay).<a class="user" href="http://www.primidi.com/2003/02/20.html">http://www.primidi.com/2003/02/20.html</a> - In these days of 40 inches TVs, the Associated Press reports that Takara, a Japanese company, plans to sell 1.5 inches TVs built by Sharp Corp. But these TVs will not take place in your living room. They'll be sitting inside doll houses.The tiny, postage-stamp-size TV sitting in the corner of a miniature living room works like a real TV, complete with volume and channel controls, video recording capability and liquid crystal display technology from Sharp Corp.Tokyo toymaker Takara Co. plans to start selling the doll-house-like miniatures for 19,800 yen (US$166) each in Japan in September. The company has no overseas sale plans so far, said company spokeswoman Akane Noma.The TV display supplied by the Osaka-based electronics maker measures just 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches). It hooks up to a video-game machine for eye-straining gaming fun.The little TV's control switches, which are regular sizes, are on the side of the floor. Each room measures 25 centimeters (10 inches) by 16.5 centimeters (7 inches) and stands 20 centimeters (8 inches) tall.

This toy ("Showa Television") was sold 2 or 3 years ago.Sadly, it is discontinued, and I suppose it is difficult to get now.

@ cam0manNobody likes the term: "I hate to burst your bubble". It sounds pretentious.
