flatscreen
Slim TV type
A flatscreen is a television or monitor with a thin, flat display panel rather than the bulky cathode-ray tube of older sets.
The term emerged in the late 1990s as LCD and plasma technology replaced traditional televisions.
Now that nearly all screens are flat, the word increasingly sounds dated—what was once a selling point has become the default.
