History of the Pixel as Fast As Possible

[@SaladFingers_]

To you and the other dude making these videos: THANK YOU! You can't imagine how many times I'm left to explain those simple - yet complicated for the non tech savvy people - stuff to someone, and most of the times I don't even do it half as good as you guys do and it takes me more time. I'll point people to your videos when they ask questions now, you're awesome!

[@nathanfredette]

watch at 1.5 speed for a linus experience.

[@klausfaerevaag]

+Nathan Fredette 0.5 speed for creepy, drunk Taran :D

[@justinfung4351]

+Nathan Fredette 1.25 speed, more like.

[@Kinosaurus]

+Nathan Fredette watch at 0.5 speed for his actual performance, i think he drank few days too much before doing this video.

[@lucutes2936]

thanks

[@KofodGame]

Great video Taran! :D.

[@Mega_Arrow]

Nice video XD you should do a video on ethernet cables like Cat 4, 5, 5e, and 6. Just to give some perspective on differences like bandwidth and distance.

[@techquickie]

It's not really a suitable topic, tbh. We could just put a chart on the screen and call it a day.

[@Mega_Arrow]

That works too XD I mean I know the basic differences but I'm just making suggestions for people who are curious. You did do the fan bearing video, and it was nicely done.

[@Kinosaurus]

+Bill Nguyen Go google, go figure.

[@topcat6298]

I actually think that Taran does a good job at presenting the show. I wouldn't mind seeing some more content presented by him.

[@NoorquackerInd]

Steps for making entertaining Tar(t)an videos: Play video Hold down 1 Hold down 2 HOld down 3 And so on until 9

[@SirCrest]

Bugged me when he said "DaguerrEotype". All books, professors, and historians have said it without the "eo" sound.

[@Izam2k2]

This was driving me up the wall!

[@pheezus]

yeah, it was very annoying to hear it pronounced like that hahahah

[@SirCrest]

ok dad

[@tomhole5467]

More to the point the image shown is "View from the Window at Le Gras" by Joseph Nicéphore is an heliographic image from 1826 which whilst the first photo is not a daguerreotype, the daguerreotype was not successfully refined until 1837

[@ThatChampion]

I like Taran, chill people

[@EvilCronos13]

A drastic improvement in confidence since your first video. You've gotten consistently better since you made your first video on this channel. Another great video. Keep it up. :)

[@Muny]

I like Taran, he's pretty good at presenting himself in video.

[@Klatski]

Aren't Red, Blue and Yellow the primary colors? I know RGB are used in computers since it's easier, but... what. I'm confused now. EDIT: My mistake, RBY is in paint, RBG is in light. Thanks for help.

[@MarioDragon]

RGB are the 3 primaries for monitors. I think grade school always said red blue and yellow are primary and green purple and orange are secondary but I'm so colorblind I couldn't tell.

[@MorrisTheHorris]

Light = RGB Pigment = CMY(K)

[@Klatski]

MarioDragon That's alright, I couldn't learn the color combinations until I was like 10, same with how time works. ATM I still can't tell all the months. There's too many!

[@MarioDragon]

Klaty I learned the orders just fine but I can't tell you which color is which lol

[@Klatski]

christian phillips Nah, but I do get extremely anxious when I have to make a speech. I just don't happen to have a good life. School is mocking on me while I do everything perfectly fine, my mother got seperated from my father since my father is in a mafia kind of thing, I'm overweight, and this town just doesn't want to give me a job. Teal Deer: Not that I would know of. But I am diagnosed with a lot of mental illnesses, along with mental transgender (it also explains why I get emotional easily).

[@badreality2]

The fact that CRTs scan across a shadow mask of phosphors, or an aperture mask, via the three electron guns, instead of displaying images, ala squares or rectangles, accounts for the scanlines that appear, when playing a video game system on a pvm when the system is connected by component cables, SCART, or VGA.

[@DeltaByte]

Wow this was really interesting, I'd love to see more content like this.

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

holy crap this documentary is what i've been looking for! thx for posting.

[@andrissturis5295]

Pixel is just a number!

[@Anim4000]

Horizontal line resolution used commonly in TV which in PAL or NTSC system, they called it Interlaced, which 1 frame contain 2 picture, for example, PAL bring 25fps, in virtually it show 25 x 2 = 50fps.

[@MikeSmith1337]

One of the best Techquickie's I've seen in awhile. Keep up the good work, Taran.

[@treelegs666]

this was a super fascinating video. Keep it up, and Taran keeps getting better.

[@proaislayer]

So many Linus fangirls, this guy seems cool too!

[@Omnilatent]

Hey Taran, just wanted to give you feedback that this video was already a lot better than your first one! Keep up the good work and don't let you drag down by the few idiots here.

[@isaacmartinez6903]

¡Nice video! Some people doesn't know how to read the video title. You're good, I like how you explain the stuff.

[@kedwardsTWO]

Type of projectors and how they worked would be pretty sweet if you could do it. Cheers for the videos anyway.

[@writingpanda]

Great, educational video on the history of the pixel! Nice work, Linus group!

[@ClydeDay]

Very informitive, and I liked the guy hosting. well done.

[@Siknik64]

CRT monitors are still good for older resolutions/Low Resolution images. For example, a movie or video game designed for sub-480i resolutions will look better on older CRT/Tube Televisions rather than new LCD/LED Televisions with High Definition display. This is because the older resolutions are not native to the newer televisions and so it has to compress and transform the outputted image to appear on their screens causing a more jagged, blocky image.

[@Colata367]

I think this guy was pretty good, didn't pick up his name, but (to me at least) the way he made specific words distinct, made them feel like they had a strong meaning for the sentence they were used in.

[@pesterenan]

That is really cool, I've never knew what was the first color photograph. Can they actually make a CMYK LCD?

[@ImTheEpicCanadian]

Nice job Taran! You seem to be warming up to the camera quite well :)

[@If_Only_I_Knew_Why]

What about the invention of the different types of LEDs? The switch to LED TVs wouldn't have been possible without the final invention of the blue LED, which seemed impossible. The guys who invented it even got a Nobel prize!

[@If_Only_I_Knew_Why]

I should have specified "modern TVs," not "LED TVs." Pretty much any flat screen TV.

[@nadeemdahabra3447]

can you make a tech quicki about CPU architectures ?? and why Ghz doesn't matter as much any more??

[@GodSEndOMG]

Great Video. Could you guys make a video about pixel dead and error? Quality control seems sucky atm. retailer told me is all brands and especially 144 hz monitors.

[@snake10566]

This was a very good video

[@maxar5843]

I LOVE when Taran does videos!

[@lyfeninja7264]

Techquickie thanks for the interesting video. There are some interesting comments on the matter as well, but not so much as to validate any of it. Definitely interested in seeing other videos which show the evolution of technologies. And as always, another great video. Thumbs up for Taran too.

[@videolabguy]

Farnsworth did not invent the use of the CRT (display) for television. He did, however, develop the first functional live pick up television pick up tube, despite what RCA may have to say on the subject. Fact was, Zworykin, the engineer from RCA, did not get his camera tube to actually make live pictures until AFTER his famous visit to Farnsworth's lab. I personally and recently built two working television cameras using actual antique Farnsworth image dissector tubes. I also made a video of an X-ray cat scan of one of my Farnsworth tubes! Previous to all of that, I restored a Zworykin iconoscope tube camera to full operation as well. If interested in these topics, visit my youtube channel. Be warned, my videos are not nearly as slickly made as this one.

[@Namaka101]

Good job dude. Like thecstyle how you explain. Maybe a bit les emphasis on certain words but overall enjoyable

[@MCTV1000Faqs]

fter hearing the Lynda add so many times i finally decided to try it out. Its pretty great but too expensive for my budget :)

[@phoenixfromtheashes]

Pretty cool! I had no idea that was how color CRT Tvs worked!

[@TheeAbstractHero]

I like this presenter. He's very clear and easy to understand, and has a nice voice. I feel he is a bit camera shy and is holding himself back a little, in comparison to someone such as Linus.

[@renz62]

This helped me a lot for my Multimedia class

[@SpectacularName]

"Red, green, and blue are primary colors." Huh? I thought yellow was one instead of green.

[@Firecul]

Light addition works differently from adding colours in paints for example.

[@serasviktoria]

Google "additive colours" and be smarter :-)

[@SpectacularName]

D:

[@tpcs8667]

Yellow is a secondary color. Red, green, and blue ARE the primary colors. Ask any REAL art teacher in grade school REGARDLESS of if that school is public, private, or ivy league-grade.

[@thanhtainguyen5973]

red blue yellow is paint primary colors, red green blue is light primary colors

Where's the other nerd? I think his name was Linux...

[@josh_m]

Duh.

[@TheFamousPig]

Informative video.Thanks Tartan.

[@keykjokey]

Taran is awesome, can we keep him? Plz plz plz

[@pand0nium]

I thought that green isn't a primary color, because you can construct green by mixing blue and yellow. I never quite understood why they used red green and blue, instead of red yellow and blue.

[@tyleramon8371]

for your own Taran dubstep experience hold down the 7 key. Or press and hold variations of 1, 3, 4 and 7.

[@tyleramon8371]

+Tyler Amon Holding down 6 works just fine also, LMFAO

[@josuegamboa7020]

great video, great way to explain staff.

[@OneStepForwardOneStepForward]

This makes so much sense thanks man!

[@enb0rn]

I like this guy! He is more serious! Linus always joke away on everything. Keep this dude for the Fast As Possible!

[@pastafingers]

That first CRT television you demonstrated is from Lithuania! It was called "Šilelis" :>

[@CommonwealthMarches]

I was thought the primary colours were red,blue and yellow. You cant get green without mixing blue and yellow.

[@jade43296]

Who knew Yogi bear was the first to invent moving picture. Truly amazing

[@racerboy3801]

Awesome video man!!

[@rulorocker97]

The colorized television was created by a mexican,Guillermo González Camarena, that´s the reason why it doesn´t appear in many history records in the United States, but I have seen that in history books when I was studying in Mexico.

[@maksuree]

in the 1950's, TV resolution was nearly as high as some "next-gen" -console- potato games

[@dhkatz_]

Are you that ignorant?

[@freevbucks8019]

@@dhkatz_ Dunno man 30fps is kinda ouchy

[@Heffy_Boi]

KZbin has been recommending this video to me for weeks now so I thought "why not". I've gotta say, this was pretty interesting but to be honest, I was expecting an explanation of RGB Scart (mostly because of the thumbnail).

[@majedsad9723]

Finely, a connection between the subject and the ad.

[@TheFayeface]

If you could do a video about hardware compatibility, that would help a lot of your fans out(including me) because some of us plan to build our own computers and I particularly don't know where to start. :D

[@Omnighpotent]

Harry Livesley And PcPartpicker.com. That shows you everything compatible with the stuff you selected. Everything except size is calculated in.

[@BaseCu327]

I never knew the man that wrote into mathematics the laws of electromagnetism, and discovered some of the most important bits about optics took the first color photo, learning is the best.

[@TheHenricus69]

Nice video Teren, keep it up dude. (:

[@TheTechAdmin]

1:03 You can't replicate pure yellow with rgb.

[@FrankAtwoodSr]

Why are the colors red, blue and green? Red, blue and yellow are the three primary colors. Yellow and blue make green. I assume they have a very good reason, but I have always wondered why.

[@haseebraza4136]

Red blue and yellow are the primary colours for paint and the like. For light it is red blue and green because to create any other colour in light you need to use those colours.

[@FrankAtwoodSr]

ItzCheeb is there a scientific reason for this other than it just being light.

[@haseebraza4136]

The primary colours of light are pretty much red, green and blue. That's nothing to do with physics, it’s all to do with biology. In your eye, you've got three different types of cone cell, three different types of sensor: Ones which absorb reddish light, ones which detect greenish light, and ones which detect bluish light. Light is actually an incredible mixture of an infinite number of different colours, but your eyes approximate it to reddish, bluish and greenish. So, if you mix red light and green light, you can actually confuse your eyes and make it look like it’s yellow light. And so, by mixing red, green and blue light, you can make any colour of the rainbow. It’s actually slightly more complicated but [you can convince your eyes that you're seeing] pretty much any colour of the rainbow. That's how TVs work, using red, green and blue. But if you're dealing with printing or paints, you're doing something different. You're adding colours together. You're taking white light which has got all the colours of the rainbow in it and you're taking colours away. So, if you've got red, green and blue shining down on a red piece of paper, all that comes back is red light and you see red. (BTW yes, copy and paste).

[@Tsuyara]

ItzCheeb Minor correction here, for painting it's cyan magenta and yellow rather than red blue and yellow. It's just the additive colour reversed. Cyan consisting of Green and Blue means it removes red, Magenta (red+blue) removes green and yellow (green+red) removes blue. As an example if you combine cyan and magenta, green and red are removed leaving only blue. It doesn't work quite that well but it's the basic idea.

[@haseebraza4136]

Tsuyara yeah that is true thx for that but I would also like to add that it's not only for painting, it's for pigments. if you don't know what pigments are THIS IS TO ANYONE just google it. OMG all of this combined sounds like a short essay lol

[@Radicoly]

1:42 Farnsworth, Futurama anyone?

[@tyleramon8371]

Watching in 0.5 speed, Taran seem's impressed that people could handle 30 LINES back then. u know, Resolution lines.

I like this new guy alot. Its good with some variation :)

[@johnmarccagatin6821]

Have you guys noticed that when they made the series Fast As Possible. And take all the capitals in the Title and put it in a word it spells F.A.P

[@manishsinghbisht3010]

Why suddenly from a week I'm seeing 5 second skipable ads at the start of every LinusMediaGroup videos? this wasn't used to be like that...as they have a minute long ad in the end. Or youtube is doing this without their permission?

Quite nice vid. Chuck Norris' monitor has CMYK pixels.

[@gambero972]

Seriously, why are people complaining about This guy? Give him a chance!

[@St3amPower]

Leave him alone, he did a great job :D

[@unidorsalicosahedron7416]

Statement at 1:08 isn't technically true, in the sense that you cannot create every wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with that method.

[@leugimrc]

Green is not a primary colour 1:01 . Blue+Yellow = Green, but i know wath you mean, in "RGB" displays, light Green is actually a primary color. Red and Green in light make Yellow. Interesting yes.

[@omegapixelled]

Additive is superior... :)

good video man.. look , I am from argentina and I Haven't got a lot choices in terms of tvs and monitors , which one would you buy between UN32F5000 (TV) and Samsung T24a550 ? I will play in PC I hope you can do a video talking about Monitors vs TV for gaming ! :D

[@davoohm2779]

I thought the primary colours were red, blue, and yellow. My art teacher told me that.

[@jizburg]

i never understood one thing. in art class i got tought that the primary colours were "blue red yellow " and the secondary colcours were "green, orange, violet" how come that pixels use green instead of yelow as the primary colour?

[@omegapixelled]

Because light.

[@jizburg]

yes. i know that now. and it is more because our eyes sucks at seeing yelow.. so as long as the screen shows our eyes the shade of red and green that our eyes associate with yellow then.. we see yellow. even tho there is no yellow there. but we can not do this with when we mix colours on say.. a car or a painting. because that is real colour and not dots of light.

[@fedemtz6]

Taran is A History Teacher

[@TLBEoGyOH]

Not sure if you have done it before, but can you explain assembly code, I've been writing an OS for my raspberry pi, know 'how' I do it, but I don't know 'what' I'm doing exactly, I hope that makes sense *begins to ramble on about plans for a GUI*

[@ArxosXII]

I think Taran is just fine for Techquickie. He's doing his job fine, and to be honest I don't see why he can't be the sole presenter of this channel. I mean, Linus already works on videos for the LTT channel and NCIX channel. He doesn't need be everywhere...

[@ThomasTerpelle]

how about a video explaining the difference between sRGB, Adobe RGB and so on?

[@ChrisAstro]

Great video!

[@peterryder2005]

12.5 frames per second is just a number :P

RGB is able to reproduce ALL colours? This is what I learned in colour theory: mosaicdesignservices.com/webgraphics/presentations/2007-02/images/RGBvsCMYK.jpg Which means that RGB isn't equal to the visible spectrum but actually has quite a few limitations....

[@geralddeleon07]

Very informative. Thank you! :)
