    Definitely the most complete look at how colour CRTs were manufactured, and no surprise that it came from Philips. My family had a Philips TV from 1977 that was still working in 1997. Quality, engineering and craftmanship of which we will likely never see again.

    • @B1-Han
      @B1-Han Рік тому +3

      Manufacturing CRTs today would still be labor intensive, regardless of how far automation has advanced. This is because CRTs have many individual complex components that require great precision to manufacture. Modern TVs (LCD, OLED) are completely different technologies, which in many ways are much easier to manufacture.
      Light and cheap plastic defeated heavy and expensive glass.
      New TVs (LCD at that time) literally immediately gained an advantage over CRT in such characteristics as dimensions, weight and energy consumption. But in terms of overall picture quality (not just pixel detail), LCDs and OLEDs have only recently begun to approach CRTs. And in some aspects of the image, modern TVs still cannot surpass CRT.
      For roughly the same reason, PDPs (plasma) also left the market. It was a very high-quality, but too complicated and too expensive technology compared to new plastic panels (which are basically just a lot of tiny LEDs).

    I remember the first colour TV's in the UK during the 1970's. Although I had to know how a TV worked, I seldom had to work on them and I'd forgotten how much cutting edge technology went into colour TV. Phase modulated I & Q chroma, amplitude modulated luminance and some clever maths to get it all to work. I still remember 4.43361875 Mhz was the PAL subcarrier frequency and glass delay lines to cancel out any phase errors between adjacent lines. The system from camera to receiver needs a video of its own.

  • @MrSoundman1955
    @MrSoundman1955 2 роки тому +5

    Insatlled quite a few of these when I was 17 - but only after "rejuvenating" the old tube had failed! They represent most of the weight of the TV set. Good old Radio Rentals would squeeze the last hours out of a tube before replacing it. Tubes were also dismantled and "re-gunned" to give them a second life.
    It's a good job this documentary was made on 16mm film which has outlived this whole technology. Now we can still watch that film, scanned to video and delivered down an old phone line to appear on you tube. A lot of very early video tape "films" are now lost and those that remain are very low resulution.

    Rear projection TV's used 3 CRT's red, green, blue, this was done to combine brightness for a overall brighter picture. I still have and use a Pioneer 65" 480p from 1999.

    Sadly, a perfect demonstration of why there won't be any new CRTs made ever again.
    Recreating all this just isn't feasible within the industrial ecosystem today, and there's no way a single company could possibly manage it alone. CRTs are highly complex old high-tech.

      Yeah but the only reason theres any need for them is cause old video game consoles don't display well on newer tvs. Yeah old game consoles look great on crts but new consoles look crap on them they are obsolete for everything except old consoles but emulating those fixes those issues.

    I doubt we'll ever get one of those color TVs. All we have is a black and white set. Takes forever to warm up, too.

    It feels like yesterday but I heard it 20 years ago when I was shocked to find out that ALL manufacturers were going to end making TVs this way. Seems stupidly obvious now. But the way they described it during the transition was "soon everyone will stop making glass". Took me a moment to realise it meant all CRT tubes, for everything.

    the second greatest invention was the remote control,before that we as kids had to get up and change the stations manually. those were good days made even better with the remote control.

    To think, that all of this was made possible by the development of the lightbulb. CRTs and all vacuum tubes are, in essence, very sophisticated lightbulbs.
