Plasma TV | The Photography Shack

When considering the history of plasma television screens, you have to understand the history that is behind this remarkable invention. The first plasma TV has come quite a long way. However, the reason for the invention was not simply to provide men with amazing sports viewing.

The plasma TV developed as a result of the computer generation. It is incredible that the plasma based viewing device is not a new idea. It has been around for quite some time. Perhaps a bit of a history lesson is in order for you to understand how this application came to be available for the masses.

Computer Monitors With Cathode Ray Tubes

It all began in 1964 at the University of Illinois. At this time, computer monitors were simple televisions. You have to realize that the televisions at this time were cathode ray tubes.

They had to continuously refresh themselves in order to display correctly. That was a big problem when using a television as a computer monitor. Sure it was okay for watching tv shows, but the resolution for computers was terrible. By the end of the year the first plasma monitor was in 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, it was still a step in the right direction.

Liquid Crystal Displays Were More Acceptable

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.

The one constant in life is that life moves ahead. Technology and knowledge continuously grow. New ideas are developed and make their way into our everyday lives. The plasma TV is no different. When it debuted it was very expensive.

Prices For Plasma TV Have Dropped

As new technology was developed and more manufacturers began mass producing the televisions, the prices began to fall. The people who once could not afford the TV can now have as many as they want in their homes for their viewing pleasure.

The world owes the scientists at the University of Illinois a great big thank-you. Had it not been for their need to have a new computer monitor, the world may never have seen a plasma TV. The big screen television sets would still be the TV of choice and a clear picture would still have been a dream instead of a reality.

Those scientists did it and now people around the world can enjoy great television viewing at a great price.
