Television and New Technologies

Remember the days when you used to get excited that at the time you wake up, the first thing that you go to is the TV? You turn on the dial of your black and white box TV and you tune in to your favorite channel. 

Those were the days. And those were the technologies that are top of the line at those decades. But now, televisions are more than just televisions. They have evolved to semi-simple computers that allow you to do complex functions that are more than just tuning in to your favorite channel.

One of the most common innovations for TVs include the touch technology. This has been present for a couple of years now. And this has awoken the interest of a lot of users who could afford the product. Basically, what this does is that it transforms your television into a display that can be manipulated with the use of touch screen displays.

Remember that there are two types of TVs. The first one uses the cathode ray tube display or the CRT display.  This is used on the old sets that you have been using for the past decades.

The other type is the liquid crystal display or the LCD display. This is the type that can save you more space as it is not as how the CRT display TVs should be.

There were CRT touch screen displays that were invented. However, later on, they were replaced by LCD touch technologies. This display that is undeniable more modern has gained more audience.
When you are using an LCD touch screen as compared to a CRT display, you will be able to save as much space as you can. You can save more than half of the space that you will be occupying with the older cumbersome technology. Imagine the other things that you can put in that available space.

The viewing area of the LCD screen is also wider than a CRT display. You can choose from the different sizes available. The most common are 15” to 17” screens. There are also larger screens available.
The prices of these screens may be a little high for some to afford. But, these can provide great efficiency when you need it for some purpose. Investing in these gadgets will be worth it.

Both the CRT and the LCD touch screens have the inability to show all the colors. This is one big disadvantage. You may also encounter some problems with the display resolutions.

Different measures and discoveries are undergone to try and improve these technologies. Other innovations such as holographic projection and the likes may be within the reach of the general public in just a matter of a few years.

Each and every day, technology and what it brings to our lives are increasing, both in number and in quality. From bulky TVs that we were so fond of using back in the days seem so very dated compared to the things that are present at this time.
