A Television And Today's Technology

By Matthew Kerridge

People that are currently on the market for a new T. V. Are in luck because technology now have moved the television from dinosaur to state of the art entertainment. Since it's humble beginnings, technology has improved vastly and the quality of the pictures have also improved. Not only has technology improved, but prices have dropped. This is a good deal for everyone.

During the late eighteen hundreds, the television was being developed but it wasn't until the'20's that a real working model that could broadcast shows and had a digital scanner was introduced. This first model was made in Germany and in'36, the Germans televised the Olympics worldwide.

While the first T. V. Was black and white, today's technology has given us not only color televisions, but so many other options as well. Recently T. V.'s have seen the addition of high definition and stereo capabilities.

The size of the T. V. Has also changed. The first units were basically a piece of furniture, housed in large console units made of wood and weighing a ton. Now, with the introduction of flat panel and plasma screens, instead of a piece of furniture, your T. V. Can be a piece of art. Along with your DVD player and a creative disc, you can have various art images displayed on your T. V. Or you can choose options like a fireplace or fish aquarium as well.

High definition television, or HD, broadcasts programs in higher resolution, as well as movies. The picture is a lot more clear and precise, nearly lifelike. And luckily, most cable channels also have HD and the only way to access this option is with a HD T. V.

If you are limited in floor space in your home, or you are looking for something more modern, then the flat panel version that is wall mountable is a great option. This unit is hung on the wall with special brackets to ensure safety and basically looks like a large picture frame on your wall.

The television comes in all sizes now, from hand held to the world's largest T. V. At one hundred ten inches and seven hundred twenty eight pounds. T. V.'s are even coming in kid specific designs, the casing made of bright colored plastics and decorated with children's cartoon designs.
