I'd say actually it was England, and in the 1930s. They had 1100+ lines very early in their TV technology. The first HD sets here in the USA, would be the early RCA 480 line HD sets in the mid-1990s. Those were the ones with the 16:9 aspect wide tube, and not flat. Weird animals! (and dreadful to work on)
