I use my 8" Motorola 9VT1 regularly. i have it hooked to a DTV converter and a Roku box so it is a set that is actually watched, not just for show. I have it in a 10' x 10' bedroom and it is big enough to watch from anywhere therein. I also think living rooms were a bit smaller in those days too. The limited amount of programming and the novelty factor probably made the small size not much of a bother. Round screens also appear to be larger than the same size rectangular. I also have an RCA 8" metal portable but the Motorola just seems bigger and easier to watch at a distance.
