1954: The 54” Columbia Electronic Color Console Model would set you back $1,000. Today, that’s $9,367.62.
Today: An LG 55” 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV costs $547.00 on Amazon as of publication time.
The price of a color console television was over 30 percent of the average yearly income at the time. A comparable TV today wouldn’t even be 0.01 percent of the average income.
