Besides the market not yet taking off at that time, portable sets with any chance of selling would have to wait for higher deflection angles to make them more reasonably compact; plus, automatic degaussing wasn't introduced at first, so purity adjustment would be needed every time you moved the thing. And then, there was the price - about $4,000 - $6,000 in today's dollars - for a small screen portable?
