A window to the world and the main attribute of a New Year's home holiday.

In 1949, the famous KVN-49 was released. It was created by three Leningrad engineers - Koenigson, Varshavsky and Nikolaevsky; hence the name, an abbreviation based on the first letters of last names.

Although people deciphered it as “Bought, Turned on, Doesn’t work” - obviously, the quality left much to be desired. The TV screen was small, so a magnifying lens filled with glycerin or water was placed in front of it. The first mass TV was produced over 10 years ago.

At the end of 1969, the Leningrad Mezon plant and the Khmelnitsky Kation plant began producing another famous model - the portable black-and-white TV Elektronika VL-100. The title stands for “Vladimir Lenin, 100 years”, because the release was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the leader. The carrying handle makes the TV resemble an iron. It was sold both as a ready-made device and as a “constructor”. For 100 rubles you could buy a picture tube, customized circuit boards, a housing, control knobs and fasteners - and, following the instructions, assemble a TV. A light, convenient TV that could run from a car battery was taken to the country house and country picnics.

From 1959 to 1967, the Moscow Radio Engineering Plant produced Start-3 televisions, which were exported to many countries of the socialist camp. The rounded body was made of bent plywood and finished with dark, valuable wood. Plastic of different colors was used for the front panel; The model with white and yellowish ivory was especially popular. The TV could play gramophone and magnetic recordings.

The era of color TV has arrived. And the first serial color TV “Rubin 401” (produced at the Moscow plant of the same name) appeared in the USSR only in 1967, although experimental developments were carried out in the 1950s.

And other TVs followed... Color TV Record-705

At first, the colors on the screen were dull, and it was possible to watch only in a dark room. Over time, screen sizes have increased, brightness, clarity and contrast have improved.

Design artists at the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Technical Aesthetics (VNIITE), the main design organization in the USSR, approached the development of the appearance of televisions from a scientific point of view.

In the journal "Technical Aesthetics" for 1967, some approaches to their design were formulated. First, the front panel should have as few distracting details as possible. The screen had to be highlighted as the main functional part. Secondly, the color of the panel “should be calm so as not to conflict with the color of the image.” The color of the case was also of great importance - the buyer should not have any difficulties in selecting equipment for existing furniture, “to fit harmoniously into the modern interior.” Attention was paid even to the back wall of the TV.

Lithuanian Tauras-4 TVs are manufactured at the Siauliai Television Factory.

And in conclusion, I’ll add from myself: in the last photo there is an Elektron-706 TV, our first color TV! My parents bought it in November 1977.
