Question

i just wanted to know whether there were tv's during 1940's.

Answer 1

no not until the 50's

Answer 2

There were but they were extremely rare and in the developemental stages. The inventor Philo Farnsworth first demonstrated it to local news media in 1928 and then to the public in 1934. In 1939 it made it's appearance at the World's Fair but it wasn't until the 1950s that televisions would be marketed on a wide scale.

Answer 3

Invented by a Scot - John Logie Baird. Exprimental stage until the late 40s - very small screens very large containers. The televising of the Coronation of Elizabeth II 1953 meant that 50% of British people acquired a very small TV to watch the event and all the people that couldn't afford one came round to watch it.

Answer 4

Yes. In autumn 1947, in Elmhurst, Illinois, I started sixth grade. A girl in my class got a TV. We took a field trip to her house to see it. The picture tube was in a wood cabinet pointed up at the ceiling. There was a lid with a mirror on it that could be raised so that the picture reflected out into the room. In those days, they thought that looking directly at a TV screen could hurt your eyes.

There was little to see in those days. There were chalk-talks, in which people would stand in front of a pad of paper on an easel, draw a lot of lines, and then chat while they filled in a picture. The final picture was surprising, because the original lines meant nothing. There were infomercials selling vitamins and Alberto VO5 hair treatment. People would watch these for 30 minutes, because there was nothing else on.

In 1949, our family got a TV. I got home from school one day and my mother told me that there was a fire on TV. In Chicago, a chermical supply house in Chicago had caught on fire. The building abutted the Chicago River. Not only were there fire trucks in the street, but fire boats were in the river, spraying water onto the upper floor. A local TV station put a camera onto a building across the river, and they just showed the same scene for hours. There was nothing else on. So I watched the fire for two hours until dinner.

Answer 5

In the US they became more popular in the fifties, but they were in existence before the War, but mostly in the hands of experimenters. There was a demonstration of television in the RCA exhibit at the New York World's Fair in 1939.

Prior to World War II, both the BBC (in Britain) and ZDF (in Germany) had regular Television broadcasts scheduled.
