When did televisions first become commercially available and how much did they cost?
In 1925, John Logie Baird showed the world's first working television to the world. Four years later, in 1929, the BBC began television broadcasts using Baird's "Telvisor". This was the world's first Broadcast Television and therefore the receivers became commercially available at the same time.
The screens were tiny, just a few inches across. The quality wasn't great either and the broadcasts were limited to specific times each day with just one channel. The price was a breathtaking £8000 ($12000) in today's money. Despite the cost, hundreds were sold in the early years of television broadcasting.
