TV technology used to evolve relatively slowly, as any kid of the ’90s or earlier can tell you. Things continued moving slowly into the 2000s — when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, it was the first time a lot of people discovered how much they needed HD. By the 2010s, however, the race was on. 720p resolution was quickly eclipsed by 1080p, then 4K. The first smart TVs started shipping, and screen sizes ballooned beyond anything I could’ve imagined owning in high school. 40 inches went from being gigantic to tiny. Today, many living room TVs are over 60 inches, and there are reasonably affordable 100-inch TVs if you care more about dimensions than quality.
