Second-generation LCD TVs:By 2008, display technology had advanced significantly.

At the time, Japanese companies such as Sharp and Sony led the market in LCD panel production.
The third generationof LCD TVs saw the transition to LED technology.
By 2008, the production of LED TVs began, and mass adoption followed in 2010.

Although the production cost of 3D displays was similar to conventional displays, the process required production modernization.
LG added a particular polarizing film to its displays, and Samsung developed 120Hz-capable TVs.
Despite these innovations, 3D TVs have yet to gain widespread popularity.
By 2014, 3D TV production had ceased.

This allows televisions to display a billion shades60 times more than before.
TVs with quantum dot displays have been on the market since 2017.
The seventh generation of LED TVs:8K, began production in 2018.
