The Baird Televisor (produced starting in 1930) had a screen generally described as "postage stamp sized", and a magnifier that enlarged it twofold. The Televisor used a spinning disk to rasterize the image.
Telefunken made the FE 1 in 1932, with a screen size of 9 cm x 12 cm (about 3.5" x 4.7"), which gives it a 15 cm (5.9") diagonal.

∙ 7y agoThe first TV sets introduced in the US by RCA at the New York World's Fair in 1939 had screen sizes as follows: 5 inch direct view CRT, 9 inch direct view CRT, 12 inch reflected mirror image view CRT.
The 5 inch screen came in both complete TV set models and a basic low end TV set without sound (you connected it to a "TV compatible" radio that you supposedly already owned and the radio provided the sound).
All TV set production and most TV stations were shut down in early 1942 because of the war and did not resume until early 1947. After that for many years the majority of TV sets sold continued to have 5 inch screens.
