Sega-Vision was a television set manufactured and sold in US by Sega of America. It was the company's first home entertainment system. The concept of the television set was designed by Earl "Madman" Muntz in 1976, a well-known businessman from his wacky television commercials and coining the phrase "TV" in America. The Sega-Vision was notable for being much larger TV set unlike most other TV sets at the time, having cabinets standing between five and six feet. It also had 44"-50" display screen, depending on a model.

For marketing the TV sets, Sega used then-Los Angeles Dodgers' first baseman Steve Garvey in advertisements.
