The early ones worked by printing the video to film, developing the film and then projecting it to a screen. That system has been used to show the TV transmissions of the olympic games in Berlin. Other systems worked simmilar to todays laser projectors. They had a wheel with mirrors and a strong source of light. Of course later there were also Eidophores and CRT projectors.

The only problem is that todays colour CRTs are so bad that you rarely find a good colour TV set showing you the whole quality of the picture as it is broadcasted.
