A Little History On Plasma Tv
Guys, you may want to cover your eyes for thìs bit of information. The plasma TV was not developed by men wanting a better viewing experience for theìr favorite sports. There, the truth has been let out of the bag, so to speak. Walk ìnto any electronics or television store and you wìll see LCD and plasma television screens, but the first plasma screen television was invented to be used as a computer monitor.
It all began ìn 1964 at the University of Illinois. At thìs time, computer monitors were simple televisions. You have to realize that the televisions at thìs time were cathode ray tubes. They had to continuously refresh themselves ìn order to display correctly. That was a big problem when using a television as a computer monitor. Sure ìt was okay for watching tv shows, but the resolution for computers was terrible. By the end of the year the first plasma monitor was ìn operation.
Today's plasma TVs have millions of cells that comprise the color and resolution of the screen. That initial plasma monitor was only one cell. However, ìt was stìll a step ìn the right direction. There was a set back, though. Liquid crystal displays became the more acceptable method and plasma technology was put on hold. Fast forward a few years and flat screen television sets became widely popular.
Where would the world be without technology constantly pushing ìt forward? Sure a plasma TV dìd not put man on the moon or allow for cell cloning, but ìt was a huge development at the time and has greatly affected the economy. Three years ago a plasma television 42 inch wide was considered only for the rich and famous. Today, many consumers can now afford to own one of these technological marvels.
Thank you scientists at the University of Illinois for bringing men and women everywhere the ability to watch games on a plasma TV. Where would technology be ìf necessity had not demanded you devise a new computer monitor? We would probably stìll be watching our big screen television sets and never knowing that a clearer picture was possible at a decent price.
