The designer of the [[TV Typewriter]], [[Don Lancaster]], developed a low-cost video display for the KIM-1. The add-on board would display up to 4000 characters on a TV or monitor. A typical configuration would be 16 lines of 32 upper-case only characters. The board had only 10 low-cost ICs and used the KIM's memory for the screen storage.

The TVT-6 project appeared on the cover on ''[[Popular Electronics]]'' in July 1977.<ref>{{cite magazine |last= Lancaster |first= Don |url= https://archive.org/details/197707PopularElectronics/page/n41/mode/2up |author-link= Don Lancaster |title= Build the TVT-6: A Low-Cost Direct Video Display |journal= Popular Electronics |volume= 12 |issue= 1 |pages= 47–52 |publisher= Ziff-Davis Publishing  |date= July 1977}}</ref> The complete kit could be ordered from [[PAiA Electronics]] for {{US$|34.95}}.
