Who Remembers Test Patterns? [View all]

Test patterns generally came on our TV screens when there was no content to show or an emergency was brewing.



We've put together the first book we know of dedicated to these sometimes annoying, sometimes fascinating and oddly beautiful images You might even learn something about the history of TV. We did.

It's available on Amazon and we'd love DU's support - whether you want to buy it or help spread the word. Here's a link to Amazon if you're interested.

Here's the Amazon link.
