flat CRT

    0.04 sec.

A TV picture tube (CRT) that has a flatter viewing surface than the traditional rounder tube. Up to 30% more glass is used to make the screen flatter. Also known as a "flat screen," "flat face CRT" or "flat square tube (FST)", the flat CRT provides less distortion at the edges and is the preferred design.

Flat and Thin
Some of today's flat CRTs are also considerably thinner than earlier CRTs, although still not as thin as flat panel displays. By the way, LCD and plasma displays are also called "flat screens." See flat panel display and flat panel TV.

A Flat and Thin CRT
This is the actual picture tube outside the case of Samsung's flat and thin TV (viewed from the top). Introduced in 2005, it is flatter, but also considerably thinner than earlier CRT TVs. It enables a 32" high-definition TV to be only 15" deep. A very mature industry, CRTs display high-quality video at the most affordable price.
