    In which year was the first television set sold?

    Question #106483. Asked by bloxworth. (Jun 21 09 5:52 AM)

    		The earliest commercially made televisions sold by Baird in the UK in 1928 were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube behind a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk) with a spiral of apertures that produced a red postage-stamp size image, enlarged to twice that size by a magnifying glass. The Baird "Televisor" was also available without the radio. The Televisor sold in 1930–1933 is considered the first mass-produced television, selling about a thousand units.

    		The first commercially produced tv sets were Baird models presented in the UK in 1928.
    GE produced a model in the same year in the US.
