I seem to remember 'TVs' being used, but I wonder about this one for some reason:
pong monitor (http://vi.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=370210915768&t=1244082192000&ds=0&js=-1&ssid=0&seller=surfari&caz.html)

Hmm... looks real to me. I looked around google for a little bit and found a picture of the back of one of those TVs with the same handle on it and a Hitachi logo on the back. If anything, it looks to be a really close match. The website claims its original.
Kinda neat. They didn't even bother to take the antennas off of the TVs when they built these things.
What makes you think its bull?

Yeah, looks like it might be legit. Remember they were just starting out back then; no factory to make custom components for them yet...

Since Genesim isn't here, I will channel him in:
Obviously, this is adequate for some earlier versions of pong, but I specifically remember pong using more spacial divergence. You can clearly see the lack of quadrangular and over use of texture fill rate (espeically on the ball). I see no proof that the programmers ever meant to use such diverse contextual aspects especially if you consider the technologies available for the time. I feel sorry for the poor idiot who thinks this inferior product would be sufficient for a game of pong.

genesim is dead. Even the paddles couldn't save that boy.
CLEAR! *patoooom*
Pong paddles just don't work like they used to...
