The first LCD television was developed by Sharp Corporation, a Japanese electronics company, in 1988. The model was called the "Sharp Crystaltron" and had a 14-inch screen. However, it was not until the early 2000s that LCD TVs became more widely available and affordable for consumers. Since then, LCD technology has continued to advance, and many different companies have developed and manufactured their own models of LCD TVs, including Samsung, LG, Sony, and Panasonic, among others.<|im_end|>
