It is mind boggling how far TVs have come.
At Home With The World. This television set, retailing for $100, ($1,625 in today's money) is reportedly the first moderately priced receiver manufactured in quantity. Rose Clare Leonard watches the screen, which reproduces a 5×7 image, as she tunes in at the first public post-war showing at a New York department store, on August 24, 1945.
Imagine watching a low resolution 5x7 inch B&W screen with very few programs on to even watch for just a few hours per day.
Imagine anyone from that era suddenly seeing a 75 inch 4K TV with surround sound, and thinking it costs less than half the money than the little B&W set. And we can watch a movie whenever we want, for just a few bucks.
