When was the first Television bought?

The first televisions were sold to the public in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Here’s a timeline:

1. 1927: Philo Farnsworth demonstrated the first working television system.
2. 1930: The Baird Televisor, developed by John Logie Baird, became one of the first television sets available for purchase. These were mechanical TVs and very basic.
3. 1934-1939: Fully electronic television sets became available, with RCA releasing its first commercial TV set in the United States in 1939, costing about $600 (a large sum at the time).

Television sales grew slowly at first due to high costs and limited broadcasts, but after World War II, TV became more affordable and widely adopted by households.
