television set
Let an agent explain television sets and their technologies, relay display types, features and standards from consumer electronics sources, describe history and buying considerations, and distinguish television sets from monitors and projectors.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain television sets and their technologies, relay display types, features and standards from consumer electronics sources, describe history and buying considerations, and distinguish television sets from monitors and projectors.
An electronic device for receiving and displaying television broadcasts and other video, evolving from mechanical and cathode ray tube sets of the 1930s to 1990s through plasma and LCD flat panels to OLED and smart televisions with internet connectivity, in sizes from portable sets to wall-sized screens, and in historical and novelty forms such as sets with built-in Pong consoles, the Sharp Nintendo Television and models such as the Sony Bravia KDL-22PX300; television sets are the main household screen and are regulated for energy use and safety.
What it is for: Watching television and video.
It can be explain technologies; relay features and standards; describe history; distinguish from monitors.
Distinguishing features
Built-in tuner
Display technology evolution
Smart features
Household centrality
What it looks like
A flat screen or historic boxy cabinet with a display.
Physical character
households with a TV worldwide: about 1.7 billion - estimates
first electronic TV demonstration: 1927 year - Farnsworth
largest consumer screens: over 100 inches
How it is recognised
Device for receiving and displaying television
CRT, plasma, LCD, OLED and smart TVs; novelty sets with consoles; specific models
