crt

A CRT (cathode-ray tube) is a display technology used in televisions and computer monitors, before LCDs and plasma displays replaced them. Characteristically fat and boxy.

While abandoned by most consumers for being much more heavy and large than other types of displays at comparable screen sizes, CRTs are still appreciated by some enthusiasts and professionals for their superior color reproduction, lack of input lag, and lack of native resolution.
