The little Panasonic clock/TV/radio is very clever in that it has a little blue VFD clock arranged to be reflected in the corner of the picture. Of course you can turn the little clock on and off so it's not there with the TV. Just another trick that is cool to pull off with a reflective picture. No parabolics or fresnel lenses...just a 4" b/w CRT with the mirror at 45 degree angle.

One of my favorite little "coffee table" sets in my collection
