Introduction

Editor's Choice

Today, the world is going flat and thin—maybe Columbus had it wrong.  Today, people want flat-panel thin TVs, either Plasma or LCD.  The world is obsessed with thin.  The days of dinosaur behemoth TVs are history.  Archaeologists and paleontologists should take note.  RCA has seen the writing on the glacier, so to speak, and has taken an HD rear projection micro-display TV to another level of strata entirely by making it flat and thin. 

 

RCA, which long has held a tradition as being a driving force in color television manufacturing, was the first company to introduce color TV back in 1954; and was also one of the first companies to introduce widescreen televisions in the early-to-mid 1990s (long before anyone was aware of HDTV).  It put satellite television (DirecTV) on the map in 1994.  It was also one of the first companies to formally introduce HDTV in the late 1990s.  Today, RCA is leading the charge again by introducing the world's first “thin” rear projection HDTV that can be hung on the wall, just like a plasma or LCD TV.  Cool!  Other manufacturers should take serious note.
