Flat-screen television receivers on display for sale at a consumer electronics store in 2008

Television (TV) is atelecommunicationmedium for transmitting moving images and sound. Additionally, the term can refer to a physical television set rather than the medium oftransmission. Television is amass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. The medium is capable of more than "radio broadcasting", which refers to an audio signal sent toradio receivers.

Television became available in crude experimental forms in the 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new technology marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencingpublic opinion. In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the U.S. and most other developed countries.

In 2013, 79% of the world's households owned a television set. The replacement of earliercathode-ray tube (CRT) screen displays with compact, energy-efficient, flat-panel alternative technologies such asLCDs (bothfluorescent-backlit andLED),OLED displays, andplasma displays was a hardware revolution that began with computer monitors in the late 1990s. Most television sets sold in the 2000s were stillCRT, and it was only in early 2010s that flat-screen TVs decisively overtook CRT. Major manufacturers announced the discontinuation of CRT,Digital Light Processing (DLP), plasma, and even fluorescent-backlit LCDs by the mid-2010s. LEDs are being gradually replaced by OLEDs. Also, major manufacturers have started increasingly producing smart TVs in the mid-2010s. Smart TVs with integrated Internet andWeb 2.0 functions became the dominant form of television by the late 2010s.[better source needed] (Full article...)
