CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors were a type of display system, often used for both computers and televisions. CRT monitors are generally those "fat monitors" that you may have seen before (and might be using one right now). CRT is becoming deprecated with the newer method of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), the method behind "thin" monitors and most of the newer television sets (however, some of the newer television sets use methods similar to LCD but not exactly the same - e.g. Plasma screens and Light Emitting Diode displays)
