cathode-ray tube
Vintage television display
A cathode-ray tube is a vacuum tube that produces images by firing electrons at a phosphorescent screen.
The technology powered television sets and computer monitors for most of the twentieth century before being replaced by flat-panel displays.
Often abbreviated CRT: The old CRT monitor weighs a ton.
