What is a CRT monitor? LCD screens do not give the same impressions as classic monitors
A CRT monitor is an analog display device that creates a visible image on a screen by directing three electron beams at millions of phosphor dots to illuminate them. In a color monitor, the screen consists of numerous strips of alternating red, green and blue phosphor dots that are activated by electrons and combine to create a countless number of different shades. The electron beam repeatedly scans the entire front of the lamp to “paint” and refresh the image nearly 100 times per second. Computer monitors and televisions using CRT technology have large and heavy physical enclosures. The long distance between the front screen and the back of the case is necessary to accommodate the length of the vacuum tube.
