The idea of TV has been around for more than one hundred years. Early beginnings of television go back to the late 19th century. However, the TV industry with any semblance with what we have today started getting established in the 1930s.
By the 60s, TV was a firm part of domestic life in the western world. With the advance in the technology of TV, quality of the image was improving. By the 1950s, colour TV had been introduced to the market and was catching on like wildfire.
The quality of television broadcast images has been improving gradually with new advances in technology. However, it is now time to light up the glow sticks and jump with joy, as the next big step is finally here. The next big step is nothing else but Hi-definition TV!
The resolution of HDTV is much higher than ever seen on TV, which means that it can deliver unprecedented quality. HD ready TVs are equipped to deliver H-definition content, provided it is received as an HD signal. New concepts like extreme HDTV and ultra HDTV have an even higher resolution than HD!
The advent of video technology completely changed the way information is created, stored and shared. Back in the 70s when we were watching VHS tapes on our VCRs, nobody could have imagined that one day we would have the technology to play crystal clear hi-definition video right in our homes.
