In , Russian inventor Vladimir K. Zworykin also filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic color television system. While both of these designs were not successful, they were the first documented proposals for color television. Sometime between and , the research staff of RCA Laboratories invented the world's first electronic, color television system. A successful color television system based on a system designed by RCA began commercial broadcasting on December 17, However, the system at the time was bulky, the picture quality was terrible, and the technology was not compatible with earlier black-and-white sets.
CBS began color broadcasting on five east coast stations in June of Making matters worse for CBS was the fact that there were already Color television production was also halted during the Korean War. With the many challenges, the CBS system failed.

Even without vivid color, they had become deeply entwined with the growth of consumerism, the expansion of the suburbs, and the workings of the domestic life of the postwar middle-class nuclear family.
Interestingly, color television systems had been demonstrated as early as the s, though the technology was refined in the late s. Medical educators had experimented with filming surgeries in monochrome television, but some doctors complained that the feeds were only useful for viewing procedures on cadavers, which were usually drained of color. Color television, however, provided a more compelling, and efficient, replacement for wet clinics.
Projected on large screens before huge medical convention audiences, surgeries cast on closed-circuit color television promised the best seat in the operating theater, providing better close-up views of the body and its interior than even the surgeon performing the operation saw. It uses a colour system invented in by Scottish engineer John Logie Baird. Museum reference T. Did you know? He started experimenting with television in and took out his first television patent in He demonstrated the first prototype television in Baird then followed this with the first public demonstration of the transmission of images of people in January He demonstrated the first mechanical colour television system in and followed this with the first electronic colour system in So confident, they began advertising the GE , the first colour television produced for the consumer market.
