Watching the Derby on a Baird television, 1931. We suspect that the velvet-jacketed flapper on the right may have a betting slip in her fist
这是在1931年人们通过Blaird的电视观看一场德比。我怀疑右边那位穿着天鹅绒外套的女士手中肯定窜这一张赌票。
A relatively compact early television on display at the Radio Exhibition in 1938. The BBC had begun regular TV transmissions from Alexandra Palace two years earlier
这是在1938年无线电技术展览上的一台相对紧凑的电视机。而BBC在两年之前就开始从亚历山大宫殿发布正式的电视信号。

Your complete home entertainment system: a Dynatron combined radio and television - it looks like it might also do as a sideboard - on show at Olympia in 1949
1949年奥林匹亚展览：这就是你的家庭娱乐系统，一个使用阴极管的收音机电视机集成装置——从外观上来看这似乎是个餐具柜。
1950: A family watching television at home. The sideboard look still holds, although it's a sleeker, Festival of Britain-style sideboard
1950年，这是一张一家人正在家里看电视的照片。这依然看着像个打磨了的英式庆典餐具柜。
Televisions did not remain monstrously large for long, however, as is shown by this 1958 image of modern life in the new town of Harlow, Essex. They would have had ITV from London for three years by this point - although we're not expert enough to know what channel they have on
电视技术的发展并没有长时间停滞不前。正如这张1958年Harlow镇摩登生活照一样。三年前他们就能收到从伦敦发送来的独立电视信号——虽然我们由这张图片还看不出他们到底看的哪个台。

A Bush television from 1967 - still black-and-white, but able to handle higher resolution 625-line UHF transmissions, as well as the 405-line ones standard in Britain since 1936. BBC2 launched in 1964 as a UHF-only service, starting to add colour three years later; 405-line transmissions finally ceased in 1985 and here is colour, circa 1970
这是1967年的一台原始的电视机，仍然是黑白的。但是可以处理高达625线的传输分辨率，而与此同时英国从1936年开始的传输标准就是405线。BBC2于1964开始放映，但是只有超高频设备才能观看，并与3年后增加了彩色功能。405线标准最终于1985年停止使用。
大约在1970年彩色电视机得到了普及。

下一个重磅炸弹：夏普在今年4月份的东京展出了60英寸的3D平板电视。它使用4原色，在传统3原色红绿蓝的基础上增加了黄色，来补偿使用偏振眼睛观看电视时产生的光缺失。
Perhaps not the next thing, but certainly big - Panasonic's Toshihiro Sakamoto presents a 150-inch, or 6ft by 11ft, plasma screen at CES in Las Vegas, 2008
这或许不是最先进的电视，但肯定是够大了——松下的总裁坂本俊弘与2008年阿拉斯加消费类电子展上向大家展示了一个150英寸的等离子显示器。
