  27. Cost of the first TVs The company RCA launched its TRK-12 in April, 1939 at $600 (about $7,000 in today's money), and quickly reduced the selling price to $395 (about $4,500) early in 1940

  28. Cost of color TVs • The first set was made by Westinghouse, and sold for $1295. • In 1955, Raytheon introduced a 21 inch set for $795 and CBS offered a trade-in of up to $400 for their black and white sets towards the purchase of a $895 21 inch color model. • Picture of color TV made in 1954 by RCA 1957 only 150,000 color sets had been sold.

  29. 1960s cost

  30. 1970s TVs • 1970 Cinema Screen Color TV $740 • 25 inch diagonal screen. • 1978 was the last year for selling the black and white console TVs 1974 Portable TV 90sqaure inches of screen $265

  31. 1980s • Black and white TVs were still being sold for about $110 and color TVs were sold from $500-1500 • Mini hand held TVs were being sold a 3inch LCD screen costs $300

  32. 1990s • Samsung, RCA, and Sony were the big TV makers. • Color prices ranged from $350 for a 19 inch TV- $2300 for a 35in TV. • 35-36 inch TVs were considered enormous

  33. Late 1990s early 2000s • Rear projection TVs allowed people to enjoy a much larger screens. • Screens ranged from 40in-70in and were priced from $500-$3000

  34. Televisions Now • Now we have LCD, LED, Plasma TVs, and even “smart TVs”. These produce a much better picture than the TVs in the past. Smart TVs are connected to the internet, some are even touch screen, and even voice activated. • LED TVs are the most expensive, followed by plasma, and then LCD. TVs that have 1080p are more expensive than those that have 720p (the p stands for pixels) So this means for 1080p TVs there are 1080 pixels measured vertically (for each row) in the TV. • A lot of the TV pricing is based off of brand and marketing.

  35. Tvs now continued • Meaning you can by a 40in Sceptre LCD TV for $280 • Or you could by a 40 in Sony LCD TV for $500

  36. Smart tvs • Smart TVs range from 50in-80in and are priced from $1000-$5000 • The bigger the TV the more expensive. • However you can get a bigger smart TV for less if it doesn’t have a lot of features. • A 50in smart TV that is internet ready, touch screen, and voice activated will cost more than a 55in smart TV that is just internet ready.

  37. Installation • A lot of television dealers (best buy, walmart, ect.) offer free installation for new televisions. • However, this does not include wall mounting which runs from $200-1000. • If the installer needs complex wiring in the house (surround sound/limited space) the price can reach up to $1,200. • The cost of Mounting brackets ($25 -$300) and HDMI cables ($20 -$50 each) are usually not included in installation quotes, as they are expected to be supplied by the customer.

  38. Content in Postmodern TV What we can and cannot see on TV

  39. Federal Communications Commission • The rules on television are created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is responsible for regulating the U.S. airwaves. • Many FCC rules have changed over the years, like how many TV stations a single company can own. • Broadcasters complain that FCC rules on indecency have been revised very little, despite massive upheavals in society and in media.

  40. Biggest Censorship Error • Super Bowl XXXVIII

  41. Censorship • TV Censorship is adults viewing what children are watching on TV, and how it affects them. • Studies have shown long-term childhood exposure to acts of violence is a major cause of the large number of homicides, assaults, and other kinds of violent crimes committed in this country.

  42. Live TV • Television broadcasters are able to censor live television by delaying the feed by 5 to 10 seconds and then if they see anything bad that happens, they are able to stop the feed or press the “dump” button to mute the audio.

  43. The V-Chip • It is a device built into most television sets since 2000 to allow parents to block out programs they don't want their children to see. • The V-Chip electronically reads television program ratings and allows parents to block programs they believe are unsuitable for their children.  • How does this affect television viewing today?

  44. Postmodern Comedy in TV Shows • Comedy in some TV shows deals with real world problems. • It makes fun of very controversial issues within society that gives viewers a feeling of discomfort and they find it funny.

  45. Other Comical TV Shows Things like Tosh.0 and South Park are very funny from the outside but if you look beneath the surface of what you’re laughing at there is a whole new meaning.

  46. Banned Cartoons • Ownership of Warner Bros. cartoons passed to United Artists in 1968 and they created a "Censored 11" list of cartoons they refused to air or make available for purchase on any media. • Due to objections by parents, sensitive sponsors, and corporate policy, many more classic cartoons were heavily edited or pulled from syndication. Many have already been lost forever. • Ex. Spongebob was originally an adult cartoon.

  47. Different Genres • The Genre of TV shows has drastically changed over time. There are new shows coming out each year due to society’s interests. • The idea of reality TV is very postmodern because people are very concerned with celebrities and what they do with their time.

  48. Conclusion What postmodern TV gives the people of today
