Abstract :
The article provides a general assessment of the widescreen market, including developments that can support the future growth of widescreen TV. Widescreen TV was proposed in the 1980s as a revolutionary step in TV receivers transition from PAL, NTSC, or SECAM to HDTV. In Europe widescreen TV supporting the D2MAC/HDMAC transmission standard was developed, followed later by PALplus. The first products on the market were 36 inch TVs. A wide range of receivers are now available from 16 to 42 inches
