why are tv’s always rectangular, but never round?
In: 0
Round cathode ray TV display tubes were made from the 1930s, but the image displayed was a rectangle because it was made up of several hundred horizontal lines of the same length. Rectangular tubes with rounded corners were made starting in the 1950s because the space at the top and bottom of the round tube was wasted. They got more sharply rectangular as the designers figured out how.
