Who invented the first computer screen?

Until the early 1980's most monitors were terminals. They were boxy video display terminals (VDT's) combined with an attached keyboard.In 1981, IBM introduced the first PC, also known as a "three-piece computer" because the monitor, keyboard and CPU were separate, rather than earlier computer terminals, which combined the monitor and keyboard.

Who invented the first tandy color computer?

The first 'Tandy Color Computer' was referred to as the 'Radio Shack Color Computer'. It wasn't until near the end of the second version of the color computer (There were three in total) that the name was changed to the 'Tandy Color Computer 2'. The first version, as with the others, was developed by the Tandy Corporation (parent company of Radio Shack). The original color computer used the Motorola MC6809E microprocessor as the primary CPU, MC6847 VDG (Video Display Chip), The MC6883 SAM (Synchronous Address Multiplexer), and two Peripheral Interface Adapter chips (for Input/Output). That, plus RAM and ROM comprised the heart of the machine. The original machine came with 4k of RAM and 8k of ROM (color basic). Ultimately, Tandy released an extension to color basic (extended color basic), bringing the ROM to 16k, and RAM upgrades to 16, 32, and ultimately 64k. The original color computer had the standard 'Tandy Gray' color and a 'calulator style' 'chicklet' keyboard. The final revisions of the first color computer did convert to a white case. The next version of the color computer was functionally identical to the first in nearly every respect, and had an improved, but still flat keyboard, which was eventually changed to a full travel keyboard. The internal workings were improved, but retained the same basic chip layout for CPU, Video, SAM, and PIA. The last computer in the line was the Tandy color computer 3, which added 4 keyboard keys (control, alt, F1, and F2), and much of the internal workings were condensed to a single chip. The Video and Address chips were condensed to a single Chip (GIME)or 65424 Chip. This chip emulated all supported modes of the original machines, but left out some upsupported, (but non the less sometimes used) 'semi graphics' modes. It did however increase the resolution and color set over the older systems. By the end of life cycle of the color computer, it had a huge following which lives on today in a small, but active vintage community and emulators, but by the early 90's, it was clear that the majority of the market was going the PC compatilble route, and the color computer 3 was discontinued.

How can I calibrate my computer monitor for photo editing to ensure accurate color representation?

To calibrate your computer monitor for accurate color representation in photo editing, you can use a hardware calibration device.
