The Sony FD-20A is a handheld black-and-white television from Sony's Watchman line, a mid-1980s revision of the original FD-20.[1]
Like the rest of the line it uses Sony's flat picture tube, in which the gun fires along the face of the screen rather than at it from behind, keeping the whole set 34 mm thick. The nominal 2-inch tube gives about 1.75 inches of visible diagonal.[1] The cabinet measures 77 × 162 × 34 mm.[1]
It runs from four 1.5 V AA cells or from an external 6 V DC supply, receives NTSC on a US VHF/UHF tuner through a built-in telescopic aerial, and — unusually for a set this size — has a video input jack, so it can be used as a tiny monitor rather than only as a broadcast receiver.[1] A carrying strap was supplied.
