The following question was answered by an expert in the appropriate field:

I just want to know what is the impact and effect of the radiation from the television to the human body.

For modern television sets manufactured according to the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the radiation emissions are so low that no effects are likely to be observed. You may wish to go to the CDRH Web site for more information. There you will find the article "We Want You to Know About Television Radiation".
