      Stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is the technology used in traditional computer monitors and televisions. The image on a CRT display is created by firing electrons from the back of the tube to phosphors located towards the front of the display. Once the electrons hit the phosphors, they light up and are projected on the screen. The color you see on the screen is produced by a blend of red, blue, and green light, often referred to as RGB.
      The stream of electrons is guiding by magnetic charges, which is why you may get interference with unshielded speakers or other magnetic devices that are placed close to a CRT monitor. Flat screen or LCD displays dont have this problem, since they dont require a magnetic charge. LCD monitors also dont use a tube, which is what enables them to be much thinner than CRT monitors. While CRT displays are still used by graphics professionals because of their vibrant and accurate color, LCD displays now nearly match the quality of CRT monitors. Therefore, flat screen displays are well on their way to replacing CRT monitors in both the consumer and professional markets.

        A [CRT] stands for cathode-ray tube, a vacuum tube in which a hot cathode emits electrons that are accelerated as a beam through a relatively high voltage [anode], further focused or deflected electrostatically or electromagnetically, and allowed to fall on a [phosphorescent] screen.
        A more basic term would be Monitor; Computer Screen or Television Screen

          The best kind of screen! They’re the normal looking ones, i.e. the tube. CRT stands for [cathode] ray tube. In a CRT three electron guns (one for red, one for green and one for blue) shoot narrow electron beams ([electrons] are what electricity is made of) through a tube with no air in it to the screen which is coated with phosphor, a substance which glows when electrons hit it. Magnets near the back of the tube bend the beams and make it scan across the screen like reading a book while the beams are made stronger or weaker (or turned off completely) to make different parts of the screen dark or light or different colors.
          LCDs have poor color accuracy and contrast and plasma TVs get severe burn-in (meaning the screen can be ruined by static images commonly found in video games or even a TV [channels] logo at the corner of the screen). CRT is the only kind screen which actually let’s you change the resolution (not just upscaling or downscaling which makes the picture look soft). Graphics professionals still use CRT monitors because they have the best picture quality. [High definition] CRT TVs always have the full [1080] lines and can change their resolution for viewing standard definition TV shows (without upscaling). Most so called [high definition] [LCD] TVs only have [768] lines but no TV stations broadcast in 768 lines (only [480], [576], 720, or 1080 lines) so the image will always be rescaled. So what if LCDs are thinner. Unless they live in a trailer, people only get LCDs because they think they look cool.
