Television Mechanical Cathode Ray Tubes

Television sets were first introduced in the late 1920s as mechanical devices but became widely popular consumer products after World War II as electronic devices using cathode ray tubes. The addition of color broadcasts in the 1950s further increased television's popularity through the 1960s. By the 1970s, television had become the main display device for newly emerging recorded media formats and the first home computers and video game consoles in the 1980s. In recent decades, flat panel televisions incorporating LCD and LED displays have largely replaced cathode ray tubes as the dominant television technology.

A television set or television receiver, more commonly called a television, TV, TV set, or telly, is a

device that combines a tuner, display, and loudspeakers for the purpose of viewing television.
Introduced in the late 1920s in mechanical form, television sets became a popular consumer product
after World War II in electronic form, using cathode ray tubes. The addition of color to broadcast
television after 1953 further increased the popularity of television sets in the 1960s, and an outdoor
antenna became a common feature of suburban homes. The ubiquitous television set became the
display device for the first recorded media in the 1970s, such as Betamax, VHS and later DVD. It was also
the display device for the first generation of home computers (e.g., Timex Sinclair 1000) and video game
consoles (e.g., Atari) in the 1980s. In the 2010s flat panel television incorporating liquid-crystal displays,
especially LED-backlit LCDs, largely replaced cathode ray tubes and other displays.[1][2] [3] [4] [5] Modern
flat panel TVs are typically capable of high-definition display (720p, 1080i, 1080p) and can also play
content from a USB device.
