This is almost certainly a joke not-so-subtly referring to The Clapper, but I can't confirm that he didn't make any similar invention.
I went ahead and removed the statement. The likelihood that it is not bogus is incredibly low.
The Reason article cited in the external links notes that his name was actually Du Mont, not DuMont. Should the article name be changed? — Dale Arnett 03:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
There's some evidence (a google books search) that a Don Du Mont ran for president in 1952. The same one, I wonder? Шизомби ( talk) 21:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Just came across this diff edit summary:"remove irrelevant oneforthetable.com material added by an editor with a WP:COI" While I grant you I should have added a better source (e.g. Kilian, Michael (September 21, 1976). "A Memory of DuMont, an also-ran's also-ran". Chicago Tribune. p. B2., which mentions both brothers, both RPI graduates), I don't think I had a conflict of interest in adding it diff. Possibly this editor was meant?: diff? Not sure what the COI was there either. Шизомби (Sz) ( talk) 18:09, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
I added 'commercially-viable' to 'DuMont's invention of the first long-lasting cathode ray tube would later make commercially-viable television possible' (this matches the phrase used on 'Did you know...' on 14 December 2010). Inventions which made TV possible started to be made in the 19th century. PhilUK ( talk) 19:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
For anyone interested in prices of DuMont tv's try, www.earlytelevision.org/dumont_180.html Jonel469 ( talk) 12:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
