"Mad Man" Muntz was notorious for designing cheap TVs with the smallest number of parts possible. Folklore says he would even go into the plant and start ripping out parts to see if the set would still work.
I have been told that Muntz TVs were sold primarily in larger cities where there were strong local stations.
Kind of a novelty, in short. I wouldn't expect great performance, not that that's a big issue after the switchover to digital broadcasting.
