I remember when we got our first Colored tv set.....It was 1975 ( I was 13) and it was a Sylvania with the push button 25" screen. What year did you get your first colored tv? You have to be a little older to remember black & white television.....lol
I think it was around 1975 when I got my first color TV. However, in 1966 when I was 20, I had a 29 yr. old girlfriend who had a 21" color TV. BATMAN in color! ZAP/POW/BANG.
I think it was sometime around 69,70 it was a Zenith cause my dad thought they were best. We had an old b&w when we lived on Guam in the mid 50's but it didn't matter because the only station then was the Armed Forces Channel so we hardly ever watched it
1970 or 71. It was also a Zenith console TV. In 67 my dad came home with this plastic screen cover that was supposed to make our B&W TV show colors. All it did was give everything a green/blue pallor.
I don’t recall the 1st color tv but I do remember the b/w tv we had. I remember every once in a while the tv repair man coming out to de-magmatize the tv with what looked like a minature holahoop. He’d make a circular motion on both sides of the tv box with the hoop, what it did for sure who knows.
