The first "television receivers" (TV sets) were bulky cabinets attached to a circular viewing area between 6 and 9 inches wide. These would display mechanically-scanned still or moving pictures, but only using high-resolution black-and-white. The first system was designed by John Logie Baird in 1925. Even smaller screens were used on mechanical (reflected light) receivers: as small as 2 x 2.5 inches. Most 1935 TV's still used a circular 3-to-5 inch screen, but transitioned to 7-to-9 inch rectangular screens.

With the advent of cathode-ray tubes for commercial TVs in the late 1930s, the long tubes (30 inches or longer) were mounted vertically, with a mirrored lid reflecting the image to the viewer. These TVs were about 2 ft deep by 3 ft wide by 4 ft high. Some used magnifier lenses to increase the reflected image size.

It was mainly black and white. Very old and not modern. Put it this way imagine AVATAR but in black and white, low-budget, and the world's crappiest effects.

Much smaller and the screens were rounded and bulbous, there were no flat screens, nor many larger than 17 inches or so.
