I think you meant 7 inches.

”Micro TV” The term was first used by Sony with their introduction of the model Micro TV 5 303 series in 1962.

17" was not a typo. It's from a review in one of the period electronics magazines. The screen magnifier makes the apparent image size grow as you walk farther back and at the max distance before the opening clips the top and bottom when watching my working set the image appears the same size to me as a period 17" direct view set does at that distance... Its good enough to be a decent living room set from its era if you like to sit a good ways back from it.
