Cathode ray tube (CRT) is a technical term for television monitor.
The computer industry uses the term CRT to distinguish television-like computer monitors from the liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors, which are more compact and flatter in size.
CRT or television monitor has existed for almost one hundred years. Its main drawback has been the excessive power consumption, the bulky size, and a severe limit on the size of viewable display. You rarely see a television monitor bigger than 30 inches.
No similar limit exists for LCD or Plasma display televisions. For this reason they are gradually taking place of CRT-based monitors and televisions.

an enormous radio tube with a phosphor coated surface and a special gun that scans elecrons to make lighted up moving pictures on the phosphor surface.
Non-techies call these cathode ray tubes TELEVISION screens or computer screens.
