The earliest mention of color television was in 1904 in Germany

"Twenty years later, the biggest screen size was 25 inches. Screens 27 inches across, diagonally considered the smallest big-screen models today-didn't go on the market until the 1980s."

people figured out how to bring the size down so that you can fit a 46 or 52-inch screen into the set and make it smaller or bigger.

VCR tapes are the things that you put in your VHS player and the tapes are so chunky you can only put one in at a time. 

You cant buy newly made VHS players or tapes since 2016 and the last manufacturer stopped making them.
