TV comes early! and its effect on world war 2

On June 15, 1936, Don Lee Broadcasting began a one month-long demonstration of high definition (240+ line) television in Los Angeles on W6XAO (later KTSL) with a 300-line image from motion picture film. By October, W6XAO was making daily television broadcasts of films. RCA and its subsidiary NBC demonstrated in New York City a 343-line electronic television broadcast, with live and film segments, to its licensees on July 7, 1936.

What if Television instead was introduced in 1929 instead of 1936 and had replaced the radio and to some extend movie houses in the 1930s and enough TV units where sold to fill homes world wide...

How would things be different?

But lets say the great Deperession... Didnt happen... And TVs where plentifull by 1936.
