colour televisions

Not monochrome sets

Colour televisions are television sets that display images in full color rather than black and white.

The technology became widely available in the 1960s and dominated home entertainment by the 1980s.

The phrase now sounds dated, since virtually all televisions display color: My grandparents were the first on the block to get a colour television.
