Television advice that finally makes sense
Before 1935, it was called the “Mechanical Television Era”. The picture was a
blurry orange-red electronically produced with a spinning disc and was very
tiny. While John Logie Baird from Scotland demonstrated the first public TV
display in 1926, it wasn’t until the next year that Bell Telephone and AT&T
introduced the first Televisions to America.
TV electronics continues to develop
The age of TV electronics was born
but had a long road ahead. The first TV set sold in America was the 1938 Du Mont
Model- 180 which sold for $395! Only four of these early TV sets are believed to
still exist. In the 1930’s, Manufacturers like GE, RCA, Du Mont, Baird, Andrea
built the early TV electronic sets inside handcrafted wood cabinets to match the
consumers’ home. By the Forties and Fifties, new televisions by new companies
like Emerson, Motorola, and Zenith joined the fray. The greatest change was
developed in the 1950’s when both the electronic color TV and TV remote control
were introduced.
By 1953, 300 000 televisions were being built in the United States alone. As the
TV sales grew, so did the emerging TV networks ABC, NBC and CBS. In the early
Sixties and Seventies, Japanese TV manufacturers Sony, Panasonic, JVC and
Toshiba were imported to the U.S.A. The Japanese dominance of consumer
electronics had begun.
Today, new electronic technologies are changing the market from the CRT
televisions to plasma televisions, LCD televisions (Liquid Crystal Display), DLP
(Digital Light Projector) projection TVs. The signals from the TV networks are
getting better as well. As the older NTSC system is slowly disappearing, the new
ATSC or more commonly known as HDTV (High Definition TV) will be the main TV
provider for the years to come.
