Who invented color television?

Answer 1

A German patent in 1904 contained the earliest recorded proposal for a color television system. In 1925, Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic colour television system. Both of these systems were not successful, however, they were the first for color television. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953 based on a system designed by RCA.

"Between 1946 and 1950 the research staff of RCA Laboratories invented the world’s first electronic, monochrome compatible, color television system."

Answer 2

Yeah, right. You forget, an awful lot of things were invented long before we came on the scene in the first place. The Chinese invented paper. Gutenberg, a German, created the movable printing press. Guns were around long before we were. We are finding out that the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians actually had prototypical odometers and even computers. And there are many more recent discoveries and inventions by non-Americans. Louis Pasteur (France) created pasteurisation. The helicopter was invented by a Russian. Medical discoveries, such as the morning after pill, were invented in other countries. It's a good thing Germany was defeated when it was--they had invented the jet engine, but hadn't put it into production yet. They also created the rocket (the V2), which was only refined in the US for the space because we imported the German scientists who created them to work for us. If you think the average 8 year old American is as intelligent as the average 40 year old foreigner, you haven't worked with many 8 year olds lately. I grade standardized tests for schools nationwide, and even up into 10th grade, you'd be amazed at how ignorant some of the kids are. There are some exceptions, but many can't even spell. They usually know only one language, whereas most foreigners know at least 2 or 3. It sounds like you have the attitude that makes the rest of us have the reputation that we do as "Ugly Americans."

Answer 3

Concepts for color television were developed along with regular television, but most were not practical. The first operating color television system was developed and demonstrated by CBS labs in the early 1950's. It used a spinning color wheel in front of the tube, so the sets were large, but mainly the system failed because it was not "compatible" with existing b&w tv's in use, and owners of tv's could not receive the broadcasts at all (even in b&w). Then RCA developed a compatible color system which became the basis for the system standards established by the National Television Systems Committee (NTSC). This system was complicated and took a long time to perfect, earning the title "Never Twice the Same Color"; but at least it was compatible with existing TVs,
