television set
Living room screen
A television set is the physical device—the screen, cabinet, speakers, and electronics—that receives broadcast signals or streaming content and displays video with sound.
The term distinguishes the actual appliance from television as a medium or industry.
Though once bulky furniture pieces with cathode-ray tubes, modern television sets are slim flat-panel displays.
People often shorten it to TV set or simply TV.
