10 lucruri inedite pe care nu le-ai știut despre televizor și televiziune

 

Some call it a "brainwasher", others see it as a means of entertainment or a source of information, the modern version of the crystal globe, the television, has fascinated people for almost 100 years. The history of television began at the beginning of the twentieth century, and today we have come to connect to it through the internet only through a voice command. How the TV managed to dethrone the newspaper and the radio and how we have come to see the world in color, three-dimensional, you will find out in the following lines.

Here are the most amazing things about TV and television that you were not guaranteed to know:

 

1. The first electromechanical television was created in 1884 by German researcher Paul Gottlieb Nipkow. It was a rather complicated "machine" consisting of a perforated rotating disk (the Nipkow disk), with holes of the same diameter, arranged in a spiral at the same distance from each other, and a selenium sensor, which turned the image into electrical impulses.

2. The one who really revolutionized the concept of television was the Scotsman John Logie Baird. In October 1925, John Logie Baird made the first television broadcast of a human face. In 1927, Baird transmitted a signal at a distance of 705 km between London and Glasgow, and in 1928, Baird's company succeeded in making the first transatlantic television transmission from London to New York.

3. "Television" was the first commercially sold television. Thousands of units reached the general public in 1930-1933.

4. On November 2, 1936, the BBC began broadcasting the world's first public television service at the Alexandra Palace in London.

5. In 1947, Motorola introduced the VT-71 TV, the first TV under $ 200. Millions of Americans allowed themselves the "magic box" they dreamed of. In 1962, 90% of the American po[CENSORED]tion had a television in their home.

6. The first color TV was produced by Toshiba in 1959, and has been available for purchase since 1960.

7. "Lazy Bone" was the first TV remote control created in 1950 by Zenith Radio Corporation. It had two functions: on / off and change channels. The remote control was connected to the TV by a very long cable. The first wireless TV remote control appeared 5 years later and was called "Flash-matic".

8. In Romania, the first TV broadcast arrived only on December 31, 1956. It was an artistic film taken from the film. All programs - plays, varieties, New Year's Eve shows - were broadcast live, because there was no recording and editing equipment. The first color broadcast of Romanian television took place on August 23, 1983.

9. The first prototype for a plasma monitor was invented in 1964 by Donald Bitzer, Gene Slottow and Robert Willson. Plasma TV display boards use small cells that contain electrically charged ionized gases to generate high-quality images.

10. November 21 is World Television Day.

From the first models of mechanical TVs to the most advanced OLED screens, TVs have gradually progressed, and the level of quality has increased with each change in technology. Use professional TV editing services offered by Ajusto.ro because a correct installation means a proper viewing, safety and even a longer life of the TV.
