Evolution of Television 1920-2020 (updated)

[@mj6962]

You skipped over the late 90’s and and early 2000’s television sets that had really large screens and a flat appearance on the front. But the back part stick out about 3 feet and weighed as much as a car! lol. Such a joy trying to move those.

I was present for much of television's development. I grew up in the 50's, so many of the televisions I encountered were manufactured in the 40's...and yes, there were still a few round screens among family and friends. We went from antennas to towers with roters to cable, from black & white to colour, from the deep sound of giant speakers to the tinny sound of plastic portables to stereo output (and indeed entire stereos or hi-fi's built in, including turntables). I often wish my father could have lived to watch a hockey game on a 60" 4K TV. He was always so "Popular Mechanic" tech-interested, he would have been blown away. Unfortunately, he didn't live to ever see a game in colour. I do miss television as fine-furniture though. Those crafted wooden cabinets were so much a part of my childhood...although, like everything, they became cheap veneer or plastic.

I remember as a little boy, the day we got our first ever TV. It was black and white, and there were not that many shows on. I loved the cartoons shown. One day my dad took us to visit a wealthy friend of his, and I saw a colour TV. It was a lot bigger than ours. I was stunned! What this video didn't mention was the tuning of channels back in the 90s and before. We had antennaes sticking out the TV, or external ones with cables. The inbuilt antenna had to be adjusted to a certain way to watch each channel (if memory serves me right). So every time you changed channels, you had to readjust the antenna if the new channel was not in some frequency range to the one you had just watched. When we got satellite TV subscription, there was an aerial that had to be put up on the roof. It had a stand and had to face a certain direction in order to watch. It had much clearer audio and video, but when it rained heavily...signal was lost and we could not watch TV. The next evolution was the satellite dish we had installed by professionals. These were nailed to the wall, properly calibrated and faced the right direction and performed much better during the rain. These days my TV has no cables going to it except the power outlet. WiFi connects it to the internet, my laptop and phone for content. Bluetooth for music. And I carried into my home by myself. TVs back in the 80s and 90s of this screen size would require 2 bodybuilders to get it to my house.

My father taught himself how to repair TV’s and radios in 1948 after a one week night course! Has his own business in Pittsburg, CA. He did car radios, tv’s etc. mostly this meant tubes and picture tubes which regularly failed but speakers regularly blew out. He sold a few RCA TV’s but could not sell a color TV in the late 50’s, only a few shows in color, Disney, Bonanza and sports, so we took it home and I amazed my friends! Sad to say when solid state came in and tubes were no more during the 70’s it killed the repair business. He was a great guy who survived an orphanage, depression, CCC, WW2…made ‘em tough then

A little more technical explanation could have been added: In the 1960s the transistor was introduced so that tube lamps were no longer necessary. This made the TV a lot lighter and more energy efficient. In the 1970s, the IC chip was introduced, which allowed multiple channels to be stored and multiple functions. In the 80's LEDs got much better so that the heavy CR tubes could finally be replaced by LED screens. Etc. etc.

[@coleparker]

One thing in the early to mid 60s, the color tvs did not have deguassers in them. So one you placed in the room it had to stay there, because if moved the colors would go out of whack. Also, any electric motor, eg. in a vaccum cleaner if turned off and on next to it, would do the same thing. I remember as a kid my parents buying our first color TV.

[@hebneh]

Color TVs went on sale in the USA in the 1950s but they were so expensive that few people bought them, and there were few color TV programs either. These two factors kept color TVs rare. Finally in 1966 all three commercial TV networks in the US shifted all their primetime nighttime shows to color, which in turn got people to buy color TVs.

[@1970Dobby]

I believe it was 1967, when All 3 Networks switched to All Color Programming!

[@ttun100]

NBC was the first network to go to all color. They were owned by RCA who wanted to sell color TV's. ABC followed NBC lead. CBS was the last of the big 3 to go to color. They had most of the top 10 shows at the time and did not think they needed to change over.

[@soarornor]

My fave of all is the 3D TV. Aside from having to wear glasses to get the effect, the actual effect is extraordinary. The rollout however was one of the worst I had ever seen. A lot of the public thought a 3D TV only would play 3D content. None of the stores even bothered to show people how to insert a camera card into the TV to view photos, including those made with new 3D settings on cameras. Never bought a 3D video camera but I would have. Unfortunately it was all over pretty quickly. I scrambled to buy as much 3D content as I could but there sure must have been a lot of people who invested in 3D infrastructure only to have the rug completely pulled by the manufacturers who couldn’t imagine such a stark rejection. I dig it though. A well filmed 3D film is a truly amazing thing to sit down and view.

[@wh1tewolf4]

It was the different types of glasses. Sony used active shutter that would only sync to their TV for $100 a pair. They only gave one or two. I had an LG that used passive and those glasses came around at $50 a pair. So I was hesitant to buy more glasses for either to see which one was going to win. Both lost and DirectTV pulled the free 3D channel off the air in less than a year. Also the 3D experience wasn’t the same as in theater.

[@soarornor]

@@wh1tewolf4 Yeah, it’s a shame about the glasses. I still don’t understand the active shutter tech as the experience for me is transparent. But I find it to be as good as the theatre experience. I only saw one movie in 3D at the theatre. That was Hugo. Bought the disc and it is just like the theatre experience except the screen size. I think for home viewing 3D is best on at least a 75” screen. Mine is 65”. But still ok, although I have to sit closer to really feel immersed. I still love the tech though. I wonder if 3D will ever make a comeback in any form. The public seemed mostly uninterested in even bothering. It does amaze me how ready the broadcasters were to roll out 3D broadcasts and how quickly they let go of that.

[@wh1tewolf4]

@@soarornor The active tech was battery operated sync to your TV that Sony came out with. It did something that would shut off left eye then right eye. So none 3D viewers can watch the screen without blur, but if you had the 3D glasses, you enjoyed the experience. You had to charge the glasses as well. Passive tech was what other TV manufactures used and didn’t require you to sync your glasses to the TV, but anyone that didn’t want to watch 3D or you didn’t have enough glasses was sh** out of luck.

[@wh1tewolf4]

I don’t think manufactures will include 3D as Hollywood has moved off 3D. You can convert movies to 3D but movies are not shot with 3D in mind anymore unless it’s a cartoon.

Same here in the US. There was AM radio almost everywhere but most of those radio stations didn't start offering a TV station until after WW2.

For all intents and purposes, TV was a lab experiment until the mid 1930s, and the audience was very small until after WWII, when it really took off. That's when television started to be recognizable as an early form of what we have today. TV local TV sounded good because the audio used transmitters almost identical to FM, network TV sounded bad because the audio was delivered on 5 kHz dedicated phone circuits. We had color and VTRs in the 1950s. The next big thing was satellite distribution which started in the late 1970s and fixed the audio problem, and ultimately gave us hundreds of channels. Transition to digital and flat screen happened in the early 2000s.

does anyone know the name of the song please?

[@blakespower]

also when color TV became "affordable" you usually kept one large Color TV in the living room and you had a smaller black and white TV in your bedroom or the kitchen

[@campkohler9131]

Very well researched with obvious help from some high-quality museums. But you forgot the first interactive TV game, the Winky Dink set, consisting of a flexible clear plastic screen overlay and colored crayons. It allowed kids to participate in the on-screen action by drawing things called for by the story, such a a bridge to cross a river, etc. I imagine it would work just fine today on a HD TV if you didn't mind an overlay the size of a bed sheet. :-)

How many years passed between the introduction of NTSC 480i and PAL 576i?

[@TheDidymusBrush]

Should probably mention the arrival of PAL in the 1960s, with higher resolution than NTSC. But otherwise, this is great!

[@Curlyheart]

Pal sucks

[@TheDidymusBrush]

@@Curlyheart haha! I'd love to understand that hatred.

[@aro4491]

NTSC = Never Twice the Same Color. NTSC sucked. 525 lines and colour drop out if you lived too far from the transmitter. PAL was superior, with a higher resolution of 625 lines. The US never got PAL which is why this American video probably doesn't mention it. The French had SECAM, which was also fairly rubbish.

My great grandmother, Lily Mills, was born in 1880 just after the telephone was invented. She died in 1971, after witnessing the widespread use of the telephone, invention of consumer radio, the airplane, WW1 and WW2, consumer TV, men on the moon, and color TV. She died just two years before the first cellphone was invented.

In 1959, my parents bought a 21" Invictus TV set, which served up the three TV channels of my city (São Paulo, Brazil) at the time until it died away in 1972. Several sets later, in 2013 I bought a huge, heavy-weight (about 150 pounds) 92" Mitsubishi. Granted, it required a specific architectural adaptation to make it flush with the wall. But now, instead of the few local channels of more than six decades ago, I can get the world!

When sharing advice/opinions/ about schools and doing drugs: Turn your advice about schools around, PARENTS HOMESCHOOL you own offspring, cause the government ain+t caring and have clearly said that many times. About drugs? Correct here, stay away. But there is one big problem none of us take into account: TVs - the most popular drugs in every household. Daily watching TV = doing drugs daily. The MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL - search, soul, and start giving out real valuable advice. Stop repeating whatever the TV (most powerful weapon formed against humans minds) spreads. And souls, homeschool your offspring fully out from school programs or the home-schooling of yours and homeschooling at all.

At the 8th Radio Exhibition in Berlin in 1931, Manfred von Ardenne presented the first electronic television system industrially manufactured by the Loewe company to the public. This is often referred to as the "world premiere of electronic television". A replica of the device is in the German Museum of Technology in Berlin. In December 1930, Ardenne succeeded for the first time in the fully electronic transmission of images using a Braun tube (“picture tube”).

You 100 percent control what programs appear on the TV these days as you can easily put youtube on a TV and make your own content and upload it to youtube. All you need is a video camera. You 100 percent control what programs appear on the TV these days.

[@nhennessy6434]

At the point where you can reproduce the smallest detail human vision can resolve together with the full color gamut with motion smooth enough to never produce any detectable artifacts, you will have reached the theoretical limit for what a monitor need resolve. We're very close now if we're not there already on some monitors.

All I want to do is listen to it personally for my own enjoyment, not to use it anywhere else, or on a video etc. If the channel owner did make the music, the least they could do is upload it to one of those royalty free websites, or even one that charges for music tracks, I would gladly pay a little just to download this piece of music.
