Before the advent of flat-screen televisions, CRT TVs (Cathode Ray Tube TVs) were the dominant display technology for home entertainment. These TVs used a vacuum tube to fire electrons at a phosphor-coated screen, creating an image. To watch TV on a CRT TV, you need to connect it to an antenna or cable box and then tune it to the desired channel.
CRT TVs have several advantages over flat-screen TVs. They are generally less expensive, and they offer a wider viewing angle. Additionally, CRT TVs can produce a more vibrant and lifelike image than flat-screen TVs. However, CRT TVs are also bulkier and heavier than flat-screen TVs, and they consume more power.
